Case Study: Multinational Energy Transportation Company achieves rapid, democratized HR integrations with Workato

Adopting A Unified, Cloud-Native Platform to Democratize Integration

A Global 500 energy infrastructure company with about 17,000 employees faced a major integration challenge after a merger that added 6,000 people. Critical HR workflows—payroll, onboarding, and resource planning—needed to be harmonized across systems and an extended Workday deployment, but the firm’s local integration brokers couldn’t scale; they needed a cloud-native, easy-to-use platform that would enable rapid adoption and reduce reliance on a small group of specialists.

After evaluating vendors, the company selected Workato to connect Workday with multiple SAP instances and to streamline provisioning and data feeds to IAM, Photos, and ServiceNow (their ERP). The platform democratized integration—letting IT developers and business analysts build integrations in days with guardrails for quality—shortening time-to-value and cutting the backlog of integration requests.
