Experience from deployments in DACH and globally

“We are partnering with HCM Advisory since the global go-live of our Workday implementation to address additional implementation work and fill gaps that couldn’t be covered initially. This involves multiple functional topics across all Workday SKUs we implemented, as well as integrations. Alex Perpétuo, Oliver Stegmann, and their entire team are incredibly helpful. They are demonstrating profound expertise and providing hands-on solutions with quick turnaround times. HCM Advisory often goes beyond our stated requirements, anticipating our needs and thinking one or two steps ahead. Their proactive approach and deep understanding of functional topics and integrations made a significant difference in our project’s success.”
Heidelberg Materials AGNicolas Fehr, Head of Global Workday Suite + Kathrin Ruckh, Manager HR 4.0, Group Human Resources
“HCM Advisory Service provided a detailed analysis for the optimisation of Workday as the leading HR platform at GEA, which GEA will take up internally in projects. The combination of profound HR process knowledge on the one hand and deep application knowledge around Workday on the other hand were of great advantage for us. Furthermore, Mr. Stegmann was entrusted with preparations for global payroll harmonisation. The analysis he developed was very helpful and illustrated the options for action in this area.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about our services

What does HCM Advisory Service do?

We are an independent HR-IT advisory for Workday programmes. We help organisations prepare a deployment, govern and review it while it runs, migrate their data, and keep the platform up to date after go-live through our Application Maintenance Service.

How is a Workday advisor different from an implementation partner?

An implementation partner configures and builds the tenant. An advisor represents the customer’s interest: strategy, governance, quality reviews and decisions. We do not sell implementation capacity, so our recommendations carry no conflict of interest.

Can you work alongside our existing implementation partner?

Yes, that is the usual set-up. We take on defined roles such as programme governance, deployment review or data lead, and work with the partner’s team rather than replacing it.

Which countries do you cover?

Our head office is in Bretten, Germany, with further presence in Portugal and India. We support programmes in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as global Workday rollouts.

Do you support works council negotiations for Workday?

Yes. Workday deployments in Germany and Switzerland involve mandatory co-determination topics. We help prepare the content and the discussions with the works council so they do not become a late blocker.

How does an engagement usually start?

Most engagements start with a short assessment, such as a Cloud Readiness Check before a deployment or a Data Readiness Check before a migration. It defines the scope and gives you an effort estimate before any larger commitment.
