Challenges.
John Muir Health needed a long-term solution that could provide the data integrity, process automation and flexibility needed to run a more efficient, strategic and centralised organisation.
Why Workday.
Long-term focus was placed upon simplifying the overall technology landscape and minimising the effort needed to support and maintain systems. Since going live in 2012, John Muir Health has leveraged Workday to optimise business processes, improve collaboration and change how work effort is applied in the organisation.
People now have confidence in the data, which has led to a strategic shift in the organisation to think of more along the lines of ‘What can we do for the business?’
