Case Study: Russell Investments standardizes global HR processes and reduces costs with Collaborative Solutions (Workday)

Russell Investment - Customer Case Study

Russell Investment Group, a Seattle‑based global asset manager with about 3,000 employees and offices in 24 countries, needed to improve data integrity and access across its international operations. Non‑standardized, manual processes and a legacy PeopleSoft environment were creating duplicate data entry, limited analytics, and rising costs, so Russell selected Workday and engaged Collaborative Solutions to lead the migration.

Collaborative Solutions deployed Workday HCM (including Compensation and Absence), built 12 integrations, and re‑engineered global business processes, completing the project in five months and under budget. The result was a single system of record that eliminated dual data entry, standardized processes across 20+ countries, reduced costs and risks, and gave employees better tools and access to analytics.
