Case Study: GEA Group standardizes global HR and cuts UAT from 5 weeks to 1 with Workday

GEA Group cuts UAT from 5 weeks to 1 with Workday

GEA Group, a global engineering firm with 18,000 employees, faced challenges in standardizing its HR processes and managing system compliance across multiple countries. This limited its capacity for innovation and placed a significant manual burden on its team. To address this, GEA partnered with Workday, implementing its Human Capital Management system along with Kainos-built solutions for document management, testing, and auditing.

The solution from Workday and Kainos automated GEA's testing and security controls monitoring. This resulted in a drastic reduction in the time required for user acceptance testing (UAT), cutting it from five weeks down to just one. This measurable impact allows GEA to adopt new Workday functionality much faster, getting innovative capabilities to employees sooner without adding manual overhead.
