Choose the right perspective

Match the consultant's module focus to your project, since Workday Financials, HCM and Payroll work call for different expertise. Ask each candidate which phases they have led, from design and configuration to testing and post-production support, and how recent their hands-on Workday work is.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01How would you scope and phase a Workday Financials or HCM implementation for a company of our size?
  2. 02What data conversion and testing steps most often delay a Workday go-live, and how do you plan for them?
  3. 03What should we set up internally to support and optimize Workday after the implementation partner leaves?
