OVERVIEW
Challenges
  • Global reporting was tedious, manual, and not always accurate.
  • Due to many acquisitions, 80 different HR systems existed, which were extremely difficult to manage.
  • Various locations acted more like independent entities—separate processes and systems that didn't talk to other parts of the company was inefficient.
Solutions
  • Workday Human Capital Management
  • Single system-of-record for all global employees, making reporting much easier and efficientcost savings, and continuously innovative technology.
  • Self-service empowers managers to have an accurate view of their organization, visibility into how much their employees cost, and what their employees are working on.
  • Subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery offers reduced up-front investment and cost savings, and empowers the IT organization to be agile.
Results
  • 80 HR systems replaced by a single system.
  • 30 percent reduction in total cost of ownership compared to a packaged solution from a traditional vendor.
  • Freed up HR from transaction-based processes, allowing them to focus on strategic projects to the business and provide data to business leaders to help make data-driven decisions.
