Case Study: Flextronics achieves a unified global HR platform and 30% TCO reduction with Workday

Flex and Workday Simplicity as a Competitive Edge

Flex is a global leader in design, manufacturing and distribution with about 200,000 employees in 30 countries. After a decade of acquisitions the company was burdened with 80 different HR systems that were costly, fragmented and not scalable, preventing consistent workforce management and timely decision-making.

Flex moved to Workday’s cloud-based Human Capital Management and Cloud Connect for payroll to create one global HR system of record with intuitive manager/employee self-service and real-time analytics. The deployment finished ahead of schedule and below budget, delivered a 30% reduction in total cost of ownership, sped reporting from weeks to hours, freed HR for strategic work, and improved Flex’s ability to deploy talent and compete globally.
