WASHINGTON, DC: Definian is proud to announce the successful Workday HCM Go-Live for a $2.2B transportation management firm. Definian’s Data Migration services played a pivotal role in the project by ensuring that data was not only appropriately migrated, but also validated and fully reconciled in advance of Go-Live.

Our client was migrating from a hosted legacy solution. While the client had the functional knowledge, they had no technical understanding of their underlying data. Definian's legacy data assessment allowed the client to quickly understand their legacy data and relate it to their Workday requirements to devise a viable migration solution. In addition, Definian’s data migration solution identified data errors prior to the execution of the Workday load, allowing the team to proactively address issues well in advance. Our proactive approach led to extremely high load percentages early in the project. At Go Live, 100% of expected data was successfully loaded, ensuring the business hit the ground running from Day One.

Additionally, Definian produced custom gross-to-net payroll reconciliations between the legacy and Workday solutions. These detailed reports allowed the client to validate converted historical payroll data on their own terms, with payroll metrics tied-out to the penny at Go Live. Armed with a 100% successful payroll data conversion and a payroll reconciliation that compared every line of every paycheck and provided exhaustive variance reports, the client began processing payroll in Workday immediately, confident that their data was accurate.

With this achievement, Definian looks forward to continuing our mission of removing data from the critical path on our client’s additional Workday deployments.
