Choose the right perspective
For a new Workday Financials implementation, start with the people whose notes describe leading or overseeing one, such as the rows for Seattle Children's and Belmond. For post-go-live administration, security or integration questions, pick someone in a current administrator or ERP manager role. If your question also involves Workday Adaptive Planning, choose a person whose row mentions both products.
