Case Study: Azelis streamlines global M&A integration with Workday

Azelis streamlines 50 acquisitions in 3 months with Workday

Azelis, a global leader in specialty chemicals and food ingredients, faced significant challenges in integrating the diverse HR systems and processes of the many companies it acquired. Their rapid growth through mergers and acquisitions required a flexible solution to standardize data and unify operations. To address this, Azelis turned to Workday, implementing its Human Capital Management platform to manage the complexity of their M&A strategy.

By deploying Workday HCM, Azelis gained a centralized system capable of standardizing disparate HR data and adapting to the unique structures of each acquisition. The solution allowed for the creation of flexible organizational hierarchies that merged over time, streamlining the integration process. As a result, Workday enabled Azelis to establish a standard three-month integration timeframe for new acquisitions, providing valuable analytics to track employee performance and retention, which supported data-driven decision-making for their global expansion.
