Case Study: Collaborative Solutions achieves 67% faster onboarding and $351K annual savings from reduced turnover with Workday Adaptive Planning

Collaborative Solutions fosters growth and improves hiring

Collaborative Solutions, a Reston, VA–based enterprise cloud consulting firm founded in 2003, scaled quickly to 1,000+ employees serving over 625 companies across 125 countries. Rapid global growth exposed inefficiencies in HR, finance, and project operations—long onboarding and time-entry cycles, billing inaccuracies, and heavy compliance and administrative burdens—that hindered hiring agility and employee support.

By consolidating finance, HCM, professional services automation, learning, and platform extensions on Workday and creating a dedicated HRIS team, Collaborative automated processes and gained real-time financial and HR visibility. Results include a 67% reduction in onboarding time, time entry/approval shrinking from 7 to 3 days, a 10% drop in billing inaccuracies, $351K saved annually from improved turnover, a 20‑hour monthly consolidation saving, 10% better forecast accuracy, and reduced T&E spend.
