PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - May 27, 2009) - Workday, Inc., the leader in
enterprise-class SaaS-based Human Resources (HR) and Financial solutions,
today announced that StoneRiver, a
provider of software and processing solutions for the insurance industry,
brought 2,000 employees live on Workday HR in just 38 business days.
StoneRiver leveraged the Workday Solution Center, a new rapid deployment
practice designed to help companies get up and running quickly.
What's New
--
Workday Solution Center, announced today, leverages best practices in
implementation methodologies and standard configurations to deliver
customers the fastest possible time to value.
-- StoneRiver was formed as a spin-off of financial services company,
Fiserv.
-- The new organization was given approximately 10 weeks to transition its
2,000 employees off the parent company's solutions, and onto its own HR and
business systems.
-- With a fixed budget and a small internal IT staff, StoneRiver selected
Workday for its on-demand delivery model, ability to deploy quickly and
scale over time, and low cost of ownership. They also selected Workday as a
trusted brand in HR.
-- StoneRiver went live on Workday HR in just 38 business days. The
company has subsequently gone live on Workday's Worker Spend Management to
support expenses.
-- StoneRiver's senior vice president of HR, Julia Hill-Nichols, speaks
about the deployment in a Workday video interview.
Comments on the News
"StoneRiver needed a solution that could be deployed quickly and
efficiently, but was agile enough to manage our unique business
requirements now and in the future. Just as important to our selection was
Workday's track record and the company's impressive HR heritage," said
Hill-Nichols. "We are really proud of the speed and quality of our Workday
deployment. There really isn't another solution available that could meet
our requirements. And on top of it all, StoneRiver is now running the most
innovative HR solution on the market."
"A 38-day implementation for a core HR system of record is truly a
remarkable achievement," said
Dave Duffield, Workday CEO and chief customer advocate. "The speed of
this project speaks to the talent and commitment of the team at StoneRiver,
a solid set of deployment methodologies delivered by the Workday Solution
Center, and Workday's proven Software-as-a-Service model. Workday is
focused on helping customers achieve the fastest possible time to value,
and StoneRiver's success is further validation that companies can count on
