Case Study: Simmons Bank achieves real-time insights and streamlined financial and HR operations with Workday

Simmons Bank - Customer Case Study

Simmons Bank, a community-focused bank founded in 1903 that has grown from about $3.2 billion to more than $20 billion in assets and operates 200+ branches across eight states, faced scaling challenges with its legacy systems. The bank lacked real-time data, relied on manual compilation for reporting, and required significant manual effort across financial accounting and human capital processes, resulting in lengthy month, quarter, and year-end closes.

Simmons implemented a broad Workday suite — including Financial Management, Human Capital Management, Planning, Payroll, Time Tracking, Recruiting, Procurement, Expenses, Benefits, and Projects — to automate and integrate processes. The change reduced reconciliations, created systematic data flows, made Accounts Payable more consistent and cost-effective, and freed accounting and finance teams to focus on trend analysis and decision-support through streamlined close and improved analytics.
