01 / Services

One partner from blueprint to steady state.

Moving off a legacy ERP, adding modules or fixing a deployment that never delivered: we start from where you are.

New implementations

Full-cycle Workday Financials deployments: design workshops, configuration, testing and go-live, scoped to your chart of accounts and operating model.

Optimization & Phase X

Health checks, redesigns and new module rollouts for tenants already live, making full use of each Workday release.

Data migration

Conversion strategy, cleansing and reconciled loads of balances, open items, suppliers, customers and assets, with an audit trail your controllers can sign off.

Integrations

Banks, payroll, procurement and data platforms connected through EIB, Workday Studio, core connectors and APIs, built to be monitored and maintained.

Reporting & analytics

Composite and matrix reports, dashboards, Accounting Center and Prism Analytics that give leadership one version of the numbers.

Post go-live support

Hypercare, managed services and release management so your tenant keeps pace with twice-yearly updates and your team stays self-sufficient.
