The Challenge
The State Accounting Office of Georgia was midway through a PeopleSoft to Workday conversion of its financial applications when it ran into trouble with its deployment partner around data mapping and business process mapping between the legacy PeopleSoft environment and the new Workday application. It needed a firm with genuine expertise in both areas across that transition.
The Solution
WorkStream’s expertise in both PeopleSoft and Workday, combined with its deep experience in state and local government ERP systems, meant it could provide consultants who brought direct statewide Workday implementation experience and a strong understanding of legacy PeopleSoft data structures. That combination let WorkStream guide both the State of Georgia and its implementation partner on properly configuring Workday to support existing statewide business processes, with a specific focus on project costing, grants management, commitment control, and the statewide budgetary process. The four-month engagement provided a level of strategic consulting the large-scale deployment partner could not supply on its own.
The Results
- Four-month strategic consulting engagement — WorkStream delivered a focused, four-month Workday strategic consulting engagement for the State of Georgia.
- Statewide business processes preserved — WorkStream guided proper Workday configuration to support existing statewide processes across project costing, grants management, commitment control, and budgeting.
- Data and process mapping resolved — WorkStream resolved the deployment partner’s data mapping and business process mapping gaps between legacy PeopleSoft and Workday.
- Dual PeopleSoft and Workday expertise applied — WorkStream combined PeopleSoft and Workday expertise the large-scale deployment partner could not supply on its own.
