Citizen-centric Success with Workday's Local Government Customers

 "With Workday, we can answer questions and get to the root cause of problems quickly, and it's less complex than our previous system, which had 10 to 15 years worth of highly customized integrations," said Javier Baca, director of information technology, Pima County, AZ. "Less complexity results in greater efficiency."

"Workday gives us one HCM and finance solution – that now means one user experience and one security model," said Laurie Foster, accounting manager, Clark County, WA. "That's turned into a 60% faster payroll, a 15% reduction in unapproved spend, and $1.6 million in annual savings."
