Case Study: GE drives digital transformation and innovation with Workday

GE expands its digital capabilities to spark innovation

GE was looking to accelerate its digital transformation and evolve from a traditional manufacturer into a technology-driven business. As sensor costs fell, GE saw an opportunity to use data in new ways to better understand assets, operations, demand, and supply, but it also needed to align people, processes, and culture to keep pace with rapid change. Workday supported this transformation as part of GE’s broader technology strategy.

With Workday, GE expanded its digital capabilities by using data more effectively and rethinking how employees work, make decisions, and adopt change. The result was a stronger analytical view of its business and the ability to turn internal insights into new customer products. GE describes the impact as a long-term cultural and operational shift, with digital transformation enabling faster decisions, better innovation, and a more agile business model.
