StoneRiver Goes Live on Workday in 38 Business Days
Workday Solution Center Delivers Fastest Time to Value
PLEASANTON, CALIF. (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.

“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.
