Challenges.
Highmark (HM) Health faced similar challenges that many multilocation, multi-entity organizations face: siloed information, inconsistent data, and costly maintenance fees. It became clear that HM Health’s systems did not have the capability to support the organization’s goals moving forward.
Why Workday.
When HM Health saw an opportunity to transition from a historically decentralized model to a centralized, fully integrated system, it selected Workday. The change enabled HR to roll out a comprehensive digital transformation strategy that included a shared services model focused on enterprise effectiveness and creating commonality across divisions.
Benefits and results.
We’ve been able to engineer the type of change required to move towards the company’s promise of a low-cost, high-delivery model—something that wasn’t possible before Workday.
