    The Partner needs to be more knowledgeable about the product. There were several occasions when I and others seem to be more knowledgeable based on testing or our own research. Also, the Partner should be more focused on setting the customer up for success and use of the product after go-live. There was a heavy focus on executing the implementation plan and little about using the product in a real business case scenarios.

    Reporting can become an afterthought as other configuration and testing needs to occur first, but it can be time consuming to analyze reporting needs and create custom reports to meet needs.

    Consultant resources may turnover during the project and this can be disruptive if there is no overlap in the handoff to the replacement consultant.

    The software can do almost anything, that comes with positive and negative consequences. Have your guiding principles and philosophy solidly aligned before going into the project.

    Consultants directly employed by Crossvue were better advisors, solution oriented partners and technical strategists than those who were contracted by Crossvue.

    I would not have phase 2 and 3 lined up in parallel with phase 1. I think it’s important to fully focus on phase 1 to get the foundation correctly. Also, with the team being virtual, I think it’s important to have cross functional team meetings before the foundation sessions.

    Turnover of consultants due to competitive job market can/will be disruptive to project work as it takes time to onboard new team members and some knowledge inevitably fails to transfer.

    There is a constant/continuous need to collaborate between several workstreams, which are typically organized around Workday modules. We could have done a better job with this between the Payroll, Basic Comp, Absence, and Benefits teams.

    What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software? What else would you tell us about your project experience?
    The Cross Country Consulting team as an implementation partner were EXCELLENT – mostly and especially due to their leader Harrison Hilliard. While there was a bit of staff upheaval in the integrations workstream upfront, we ultimately found we didn’t need the level of integration we first thought we may and this turned out to be less of a concern than first expected. The CCC consultant on the talent optimization side was very helpful, but had a difficult time with our team on that workstream — our team there was pretty needy and had a hard time taking the baton and running with it – not the CCC consultants issue necessarily, but a little “tougher love” in that area may have helped them transition better. I would recommend CCC as they make every effort to be a partner and help you achieve success rather than just basically implementing software.

    Greg and CrossCountry were great. They were very understanding of our needs and were very instrumental in getting our 2 phased implementation completed on-time and under budget. The only lessons learned would be internally. Always make sure that you have all of Leadership’s buy-in before implementing an ERP system. Some resistance from internal resources can derail an entire effort. CC has definitely dealt with this in the past and was very patient, professional and understanding to this behavior.

    Integrations with Workday are far trickier than we would have imagined. I would have someone in house who knew that world better, as well as a very advanced partner. We were warned they would be laborious, but I don’t think we prepared for every setback we encountered.

    I would ensure that you have a seasoned project manager on the CCC side. One that can deal with the ambiguity of a team that was made up of different verticals to ensure everyone is accountable for dates/ownership/etc. This should fall on the organization at the end of the day to do most of the heavy lift, but some strategic direction around who should be accountable for what would have been helpful in our specific implementation.

    What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software? What else would you tell us about your project experience?
    We had some bumps in some aspects of the work – I believe going forward we need to ensure our team and CrossCountry’s team are very clear on expectations.

    We really struggled with project task tracking. We had a dedicated project manager internally and with CCC but things still got lost in the shuffle. We had expected a bit more organization and directedness from CCC both around system design and project organization.

    Workday is one of the fastest-growing cloud-based solutions for human resources, finance, and planning. A significant reason for their success in the market can be attributed to the comprehensive ecosystem of technology and consulting partners who offer clients a holistic experience when planning for, deploying, using, and, sustaining the platform through change.

    One of these partners is CrossVue, an industry expert that provides Workday consulting services with a mission of helping clients navigate complex and multi-layer change in a meaningful way through Workday.

    At the helm is Jill Jones, CEO, a highly experienced professional in the consulting industry. Throughout her career, she has worked with various software products, including Oracle and PeopleSoft, and has been part of the Workday ecosystem for over a decade. CrossVue, has emerged as a successful and highly-regarded Workday consulting partner, helping clients to modernize their finance and HR operations through Workday. CrossVue’s methodology and approach ensure repeatable success and has earned them a reputation as a leader and innovator in the industry.

    CrossVue: History and Fit Within the Workday Ecosystem

    CrossVue launched as an independent Workday partner in April 2022, after being part of CrossCountry Consulting’s technology practice and an active ecosystem partner since 2014.  With one of the most experienced teams in the ecosystem, CrossVue provides the same level of delivery quality, product knowledge, and industry expertise as the larger consulting firms.  Jill and her team’s decades of experience are combined with an agile approach to serve clients of all shapes and sizes. CrossVue brings a tailored industry focus, specializing in Healthcare, Nonprofit, Financial Services, and Federal.

     

    Keys to Workday’s Growth

    Workday has experienced explosive growth in recent years, with a focus on building a dynamic product and comprehensive ecosystem of technology and consulting partners. Workday has experienced great success with financials and is doubling down on their industry strategy. Workday has also achieved FedRAMP authorized status, allowing them to officially enter the U.S. federal market. Workday continues to invest in their partner ecosystem, such as CrossVue, to help drive their own growth and success.

    One of the things I’m particularly excited about is Workday’s achievement of FedRAMP authorized status and company’s official entry into the US federal market. Both CrossVue & Workday were jointly selected at a new Federal client and I’m confident that this will be an amazing growth opportunity for both Workday and CrossVue over the next couple of years.

    Metrics that Matter in Evaluating Workday Projects

    Key factors contributing to the success of CrossVue’s Workday projects include their experience executing the proven Workday methodology, coupled with a holistic transformation approach that focuses on helping clients reach their business goals. This combination ensures that clients understand the level of effort required to keep projects on-time and on-budget. Most importantly, CrossVue measures its success in terms of value delivered and client retention rates, with over 90% of clients using CrossVue for multiple projects.

    What’s most important is how likely the client is to hire CrossVue again. 90% of our customers are repeat customers, which is a true marker of satisfaction.

    What advice would you provide a customer preparing for a Workday Implementation?

    Implementing a Workday project is a significant undertaking that requires proper upfront planning, a solid change management program, clear expectations, and a focus on metrics that matter.  Jones believes that starting “with the end in mind” is essential. Clients need to evaluate how their organization will need to change after the technology implementation is live. Opportunities to redefine operating models, gain efficiencies, create more clarity, and reduce manual or duplicative administrative work should be considered to achieve real-time results.

    Jones says that data is a huge success factor in all their projects. Access to insights and analytics is what clients need to make real-time and sometimes tough decisions about their business and people. Coming to the table with key performance indicators (KPIs) will help ensure that clients have the right technical configuration and organizational data to support measuring the metrics that matter in the end. Change management is one of the first things that clients take out of their budget when going through scoping and contracting. However, Jones stresses that change management is crucial to making the Workday investment come to life.
