Case Study: Collaborative Solutions achieves 67% faster onboarding and real-time P&L visibility with Workday

How Collaborative Solutions partnered with Workday to support company growth and improve its client experience

Collaborative Solutions, a Reston, VA–based enterprise cloud consulting firm founded in 2003, has grown to 1,000+ employees serving over 625 companies in 125+ countries. Rapid global expansion created challenges in scaling HR and finance operations, improving the candidate/new-hire/employee experience, and managing compliance—while HRIS responsibilities were often handled by non-billable project managers.

Partnering with Workday (HCM, Financial Management, Payroll, Recruiting, Learning, PSA and Workday Cloud Platform) allowed Collaborative to centralize, standardize, and automate processes and create a dedicated HRIS team. Results include a 67% reduction in onboarding time, $351K annual savings from improved turnover, time-entry/approval cycles cut from 7 to 3 days, a 10% drop in billing inaccuracies, a 20-hour monthly reduction in close time, 10% better forecast accuracy, and faster global compliance (e.g., GDPR).
