Denver Selects Workday to Support Future Growth Plans

Colorado's Capital and Denver International Airport Move Finance and HR to the Cloud for Greater Flexibility and Insights

PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 10, 2015) - Workday, Inc. (NYSE: WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today announced that the City and County of Denver, including Denver International Airport, has selected Workday's unified suite of applications, including Workday Financial Management and Workday Human Capital Management (HCM). With Workday, Denver will have a flexible technology foundation that will reduce complexities and costs, support ongoing growth, and provide insights that will help Denver's leaders understand the status of programs and services where and when required. The system will be deployed by Workday partner Sierra-Cedar.

With more than 675,000 residents, Denver is the most populous county in Colorado and home to Denver International Airport, the fifth busiest airport in the United States and the 15th busiest airport in the world. The airport is governed by the City and County of Denver, which manages all of its financial and HR operations. As part of its focus on innovation and transformation, Denver selected Workday to replace its costly and cumbersome legacy system.

With Workday, Denver will benefit from:

  • Improved Business Processes and Reduced Complexity: With Workday's built-in business process framework, Denver will standardize and streamline finance and HR operations across departments. Workday also will enable Denver to easily set up new business processes or make adjustments when necessary, such as organizational changes or approval chains.
     
  • Real-Time Insights Into Operations: With Workday, Denver will have access to built-in analytics and reporting on real-time HR and financial data, from current headcounts to program and project details -- all in one system.
     
  • A Mobile-First Approach to Enable Anytime, Anywhere Access: Workday's intuitive, user-friendly interface will make it easy for Denver's employees -- many of whom are on the go and working remotely -- to access information and perform tasks without having to be onsite or use a call-in desk.
     
  • Continuous Innovation: Denver will be able to leverage continuous innovation from Workday's development on a single codeline, helping ensure employees are always on the most current version, and reducing the cost and effort required with an on-premise upgrade.
