Case Study: ENMAX achieves greater efficiencies, scalability, and faster financial close with Workday

ENMAX rides the waves of change to drive business strategy

ENMAX, a Calgary-based energy company founded in 1905 and wholly owned by the City of Calgary with about 1,800 employees, faced a disjointed network of legacy systems and an outdated back-office finance platform. Manual processes, heavy support needs, and unpredictable access to financial insights limited scalability and diverted controller teams from strategic work.

By adopting Workday’s cloud-based suite (HCM, Payroll, Financial Management, Planning, Projects, Time Tracking, Expenses, Recruiting and Learning), ENMAX consolidated systems, strengthened security, and automated core processes. Results included a 30% increase in strategic work, a 33% faster quarterly close, cost allocations cut from nine hours to minutes, employee expense cycle time reduced to seven days with 85% mobile adoption, ledger accounts cut from 1,500 to 308, and improved reporting via 14 new dimensions.
