Comments on the News
“As an international organization, we need to be dynamic and easily adapt to changing market conditions,” said Rob Bloor, group financial controller, EQ. “With Workday, our transaction and planning data are in the same system, and we’re able to translate data into insight we need to make decisions. Having our accounting and planning teams work off of the same data set makes it possible for us to be continuously agile and confident in our decision making.”
“We’re thrilled Workday built machine learning into its core cash-to-pay application natively, creating a seamless extension to our accounts receivable process,” Preeti Iyer, senior director, Finance & Order to Cash, Blue Yonder. “Workday has all of our data, and knows how we handle cash applications, and how we’ve applied payments in the past. This deep understanding gave us a huge leap forward, was more cost effective, and has helped us realize value faster as we continue to reduce time spent on our complex cash applications and move from 70 percent of our time spent on manual matches to just 20 percent.”
“Workday has proven they are a modern cloud system that delivers continuous innovation to its customers and is a true partner for Shelter Insurance,” Tina Workman, vice president of accounting and treasurer, Shelter Insurance. “We went live on Accounting Center last year and have since retired several legacy COBOL programs that had little visibility into creating accounting from operational systems. With Workday Accounting Center we have full transparency into detailed accounting creation from close to 75 files from policy, claims, and other systems, streamlining our accounting into one system and providing us with deeper insight into insurance product profitability.”
“We believe the reason Gartner continues to recognize Workday as a Leader in Cloud Core Financial Management Suites is our deep customer commitment and relentless focus on innovation to help advance the Office of the CFO,” said Terrance Wampler, general manager, Workday Financial Management. “For finance organizations, having proven solutions that support current and emerging finance processes provide a clear competitive advantage. With Workday, our customers can more easily distill actionable insights from all of their data, quickly remove friction from finance processes, and continuously plan to deliver the strategic business partnership that their organizations require from finance.”
