Enterprises, nowadays, are facing evolving HR challenges in addition to the traditional ones of efficiency and cost reduction. Some of the evolving challenges are related to talent, global visibility and control, lack of data-driven decision making, and evolving employee demands. As a result of these and their current HR operating model, they are not able to leverage their HR functions to carry out various enterprise-wide HR initiatives. There is a need for them to reimagine their HR operating model to mitigate these challenges and drive strategic business outcomes.

A key component for this HR operating model transformation is the movement toward a cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) solution, such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Oracle HCM cloud. Workday, with its wide range of integrated offerings in the HCM space, has established itself as a key vendor in SaaS-based HR platform market. The Workday services market, too, has enjoyed considerable success over the recent years.

  • Workday and associated services
  • Workday-based HR BPS market
