Case Study: University of Virginia achieves HR simplicity, security, and cost savings with Workday Adaptive Planning

University of Virginia builds a shared service model on a unified HR system

University of Virginia (UVA) needed to simplify a complex HR environment made up of three HR systems, 212 supporting apps, and multiple security models, which created inefficiencies, limited real-time visibility, and increased risk. To support its academic schools, Health System, and Physicians Group, UVA turned to Workday Adaptive Planning’s Workday platform and related HR capabilities.

Workday Adaptive Planning helped UVA consolidate into one unified HR system with real-time data, a single security model, mobile access, and automated workflows. The university reduced supporting apps from 212 to 68, cut IT support costs by 50%, improved payroll accuracy by 95%, and shortened time to fill new positions from 90 days to 57 days, while also enabling 100% mobile access and greater agility and security.
