Blackbaud

Deeper financial analysis drives greater connection and speed.

“Seeing what Workday HR brought to our people team, we wanted to bring the same to our finance and accounting teams. Having them connected is integral.”—VP and Assistant Controller

Reduced journal entries by more than 25%

Maintained on-time close with fewer manual steps

Achieved faster analysis of results

International software provider Blackbaud is on a growth journey, both through acquisitions and organically. To support this, the organization needed a technology partner to keep pace with its evolving needs and free up time from manual processes to focus on business analysis to help drive the organization forward.

Blackbaud’s journey began with Workday Human Capital Management and, seeing the “beauty” it delivered, the company followed up with Workday Financial Management. Now with HR and finance together, Blackbaud has eliminated integrations and can absorb new entities and close the books on time with less manual input. Workday has enabled the organization to:

  • Consolidate four fintech systems into one for a single data view with Workday Accounting Center and Workday Prism Analytics
  • Better engage the corporate IT team with recommendations for process improvements
  • Focus more time on analyzing results for improved business decisions

Now we can move on to analyzing those results, helping the business determine what levers to push, and working with our investor relations team to help build the story.
