Leading Silicon Valley Tech Enterprise Enhances Workday Implementation with Comprehensive QA Services
Summary
A leading Silicon Valley (SV) tech company engaged Stratpoint for the former’s global implementation and updates of Workday, a top Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financial Management solution, for over 150,000 SV company employees. This resulted in streamlined testing processes and automated 93.9% of their test cases, ensuring smooth system updates and minimal operational disruption and empowering SV company’s business team to focus on core business activities.
Background
Challenge

- Growing Complexity in Configuration: Increasing customizations led to difficulties in maintaining a consistent QA environment and managing a growing list of features.
- Inadequate Time for Testing: With only six weeks to test changes before release, there was a risk of insufficient coverage and potential disruption of existing functionalities.
- Limited UAT Capacity: The business team struggled to conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT) due to a lack of time and insufficient knowledge of best practices.
