OneMagnify, a professional services organization specializing in strategic marketing solutions, faced a common challenge as it tried to navigate multiple disconnected systems. As Sam Qualls, director of Business Operations at OneMagnify explains, “We had 20-plus systems and trying to make them connect to glean any real data to drive decisions was a struggle.”
OneMagnify gained a holistic view of its business when it centralized its core systems into Workday. The move enabled OneMagnify to become a more data-driven organization by identifying bottlenecks and removing inefficient processes to support long-term growth.
When we moved to Workday, it was a game-changer for our business because now everything was in one place.

Central hub drives better connections.
This central hub for the enterprise facilitated real-time data sharing and collaboration across departments. This wasn’t just about connecting systems; it was about connecting people.
To connect its project operations, OneMagnify deployed Workday Professional Services Automation (PSA). “We’re a professional services organization so having core HR, financials, and projects together is critical to our business,” says Qualls. By leveraging Workday PSA for quoting, OneMagnify could project revenue and resourcing more accurately. The improved project planning and staffing ensured the firm had the right people with the right skills available at the right time.
Illuminating the path forward.
OneMagnify is looking to take operations to the next level by leveraging the AI capabilities of Workday Illuminate™. “Using Illuminate to drive back-end efficiencies, especially when it comes to business processes and approvals, will help our high performers be even more valuable and efficient,” says Qualls. “That will be a game-changer in the efficiency of our highly valued people.”
Framework for success.
Complementing this, Workday Success Plans provides support for goal setting, performance management, and employee development. With Ask-an-Expert, it can quickly access expert advice, saving significant time and resources. As Qualls notes, “The ability for us to post a message and get a highly skilled, experienced resource to advise us saves us a ton of time.”
As OneMagnify continues to grow, Workday is there to support the organization every step of the way. “I think the biggest value for us is that Workday grows with us and supports our growth,” says Qualls.
We can quickly gain insights into our business and what’s going on at a granular level, rolled up to the highest level. That visibility is something we’ve never really had before.
