Challenges.
ENMAX was challenged by a disjointed network of systems that required significant support. Its back-office finance system was outdated. And, in addition to the risks of using an unsupported legacy system, controller teams were burdened by manual business processes and unpredictable access to financial insights.
Why Workday.
ENMAX needed a consolidated, flexible solution that offered scalability, improved efficiencies and an effective, cloud-based financial application that allowed comprehensive insights into the company and its people.
Benefits and results.

With Workday, ENMAX was able to deliver a cloud-based financial management application to strengthen security, compliance and controls, while eliminating the need for server maintenance. Finance IS/IT has shifted focus from “keeping the lights on” to continuous innovation. Further, ENMAX enabled web services to improve data processing times and accuracy.
