For the first time in IT Industry there's a product with
employee management service is Workday. It is user friendly enough and
intuitive enough. Employees and managers will actually adopt it now. I could
talk about their architecture for a long time, but two key points are all of
workday’s development resources are devoted to extending and enhancing. The
product version and that means the speed with which they can add capability to
the product is unrivaled by any of their competitors.
The reporting environment and the transactional environment
are combined in one place. Thanks to workday’s object oriented architecture, This
means reports are up to date to the minute and also actionable immediately. From
the report new versions of the product come out several times a year with no
need for upgrade projects. There is a collaborative ecosystem. partners
customers and workday who all work together to make the product as good as it
can be and to make implementations as easy as possible.
So there's certainly quicker to value with fewer consultants
and generally projects take shorter time. The second thing is there's a workday
delivered methodology, which all partners have to use. so only approved
partners can work on implementation projects and every consultant from every
part has to be certified on every new version of the product there's less
freedom to customize but in our experience it's rare that customers can't meet
their needs through the configuration options available. One of the key issues
is change management a workday implementation project is going to affect every
employee at every level in the organization.
Communication appropriate to the different levels of the
organization and to the different roles that people play is absolutely key.
also the HR function itself is likely to be transformed people that have been
doing a certain kind of work for years, may find their work changing
significantly or even disappearing and that has to be handled with sensitivity.
customers nearly always overestimate the quality of their data with the
increased visibility and action ability of data and workday becomes a critical
issue and data cleansing is very time consuming there's also the move to
self-sufficiency. it's important when the project ends customer is able to be
self-sufficient with workday that means being able to alter business processes
handle reorganizations and load reference data like currency rates or holiday
calendars into the system. a key aspect is testing this is not testing of the
workday product as such but all integrations and any business processes that
have been configured by the customer or the implementation partner will need to
be tested when new versions come along or for integrations when either the
source or target systems change luckily we can help In solving issues.
Smart test automation tool which enables you to run Suites of
regression tests with minimal effort and cut down the amount of time it takes
to do testing within an implementation we always start off by trying to
understand the business drivers behind any company's desire to implement
workday and we use those to inform our approach. Some customers may want a
radical implementation of manager self-service, involving a large-scale move of
HR administration from the HR function to managers as other companies will
prefer many more manager self-service its part of kenosis DNA to do. What it
takes to make sure that customers are successful and our workday business unit
is no different.
