Board member meetings and discussions around governance, compliance, financial risk analysis, and risk management. The sharing of confidential documents is very secure and well-suited to use. The security of discussion is a great feature among members and leadership. Business record management is easily shared and managed, and we’re very pleased with the outcome.

Our primary model for budgeting revenue is centered on patient counts. Missed assumptions early in the year result in massive ramifications over the balance of the year. Workday formulas allowed us to write formulas to project the recovery of such shortfalls over a variable length of time, resulting in realistic projections for overcoming said shortfalls.

Pros
  • Enhance business compliance by maintaining records and documents for all our processes and reports, which allows us to not worry about training new people in case resources are transferred.
  • We integrated risk assessment tools and business continuity plans, which allowed proactive identification and mitigation of potential business risks.
  • It helped to secure communication channels with confidential discussions and document sharing among team members and leadership.

  • We specically wanted a cloud financial management system that we could use in China and communicate reports to the headquarters organization and roll-up reporting. It performs well.
  • It was reasonably priced since we are not a for-profit company and need the Workday flexibility for finance and accounting operations. Most of our requirements are met with this one system.
  • The system worked efficiently with the additional security we built on to keep confidential. Many reports are ready off-the-shelf or easy to develop, which is a strength.

Cons
  • Improve the TPRM functionality
  • Improve the functionality and features of Risk Manager to be more complete so that it covers the whole spread from ERM to individual risk assessments.
  • Improve their overall UI/UX.
  • Provide a lot more ready robots for customers to use for all the basic areas. For e.g. user access udit for source repos from different vendors, etc.

  • The automatic save function isn't always active for the cloud version. I'm not sure if it is a glitch or a settings issue.
  • There are some limitations to customizations.
  • Updates don't go through properly on the system, leading to downtime issues.

Workday Financial Management is an easy to use, productive software suite that really brings all departments together and improved workplace efficiency. Before we began using the software, much info was partitioned in random places that were not clearly labeled or accessible to all shareholders. We are very pleased with Workday Financial Management.

HighBond by Galvanize support has some of the best and fastest support that I have experienced. Though we only contact them through emails, they were quick to provide insightful information about our problems. Whenever we email them about an issue, they would be able to reply in less than an hour, ready and prepared with useful solutions to address the issue.

I was not involved in the implementation, but i do think the interface works well and is a great tool to centralize our compliance program. I'm currently in the process of exploring many of the advanced features and using the Diligent Academy to learn about some of these exciting features to add value to our organization. I recently attended a CPE and was very impressed with the presenters and their energy and knowledge of the product

The application data of users in the case of PeopleSoft is stored in its proprietary data storage, whereas Workday Financial Management connects to outside databases to create analytics reports. Therefore, this option uplifts the need to use Workday Financial Management as an interactive tool of business intelligence. The release model of Workday Financial Management is ahead of Oracle because it has a continual announcement of more functionality that is a very attractive incentive for our project management team for improving and developing the ongoing operational streams.

  • Workday has helped my employer save money over the past couple of year by tracking time of employees and how long were days looking like.
  • It has enables us to make better decisions by hiring more people instead of paying overtime to those who already work in order to have the right work/leisure balance
  • The platform has also helped us to redesign our policies after seeing when employees were clocking in and clocking out and track people who were showing up late for work
