Case Study: Evotec achieves 50% faster acquisition integration and improved HR data integrity with Workday Adaptive Planning

Evotec strengthens HR effectiveness and data integrity with one system

Evotec, a Hamburg‑based drug‑discovery company with over 3,000 employees, faced growing complexity from rapid organic growth and frequent acquisitions that left HR working across many disparate systems. This created inconsistency, limited transparency, heavy IT dependency, and an inability to deliver timely, accurate workforce data—preventing HR from focusing on analysis and business partnering.

Evotec consolidated legacy platforms into a single global Workday system, giving HR greater independence, automated processes, and real‑time analytics. The change cut acquisition integration time by 50%, boosted recruiting efficiency by 25%, saved €170K in annual productivity, reduced onboarding from two months to two weeks, and cut global headcount reporting from about a week to five minutes—while delivering full auditability and mobile access for senior leaders.
