Premier League Team to Shift
Finance and HR to the Cloud
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - May 24,
2017) - Workday, Inc. (NYSE: WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud
applications for finance and human resources, today announced that
Southampton Football Club (FC), a member of the Premier League, has
selected Workday Financial Management and Workday Human Capital
Management (HCM) to help streamline finance and HR processes,
including payroll, for playing and non-playing staff. With Workday,
Southampton FC, nicknamed 'The Saints', will have a unified,
cloud-based finance and HR system that will provide the entire
organisation -- from HR and finance operations to ticketing and
merchandising -- with visibility into real-time data required to
make more informed decisions.
Faced with aging legacy finance and HR systems
that could no longer support its current and future needs,
Southampton FC selected Workday to support the club's strategic
vision and ensure that its off-the-field infrastructure matches its
performance on the field.
With Workday, Southampton FC will benefit
from:
- A single, cloud-based system to support finance
and HR processes, helping reduce the time spent on manual data
entry and freeing up time for employees to focus on more strategic
initiatives, such as talent management.
- Better control of and visibility into finance and
HR data, including payroll information for both playing and
non-playing staff.
- A truly unified approach to finance and HR, with
seamless integration into other core operations systems, such as
the ticket office and merchandising functions, helping ensure the
accuracy of financial performance from point of sale to
reporting.
- Improved financial and workforce planning with
real-time insights that equip managers with the latest information
on their people, and business leaders with clearer visibility into
financial performance so they can make in-the-moment decisions
regarding future investments.
- Continuous innovation with Workday's development
on a single code line delivered in the cloud, reducing the costs
and time associated with upgrades on legacy systems.
