Case Study: Webedia achieves real-time visibility and streamlined finance, HR, and payroll with Workday

Webedia - Customer Case Study

Webedia, France’s leading online entertainment media group (31 million monthly visitors, 100 companies across 28 offices in 15 countries and 2,800+ employees), had grown rapidly through acquisitions and was burdened by multiple legacy finance, HR and payroll systems and heavy third‑party support. That fragmentation created inefficiencies, extensive data reconciliation and limited visibility needed to support further domestic and international growth.

Webedia implemented Workday (HCM, Financial Management, Procurement, Expenses, Time & Absence and Payroll for France), going live in eight months for internally managed accounting and four months later for outsourced entities. The unified platform delivered real‑time data, mobile self‑service and consolidated finance‑HR visibility—enabling a 50% rise in finance activity with only a 20% staff increase, always‑on payroll with fewer month‑end peaks, fewer discrepancies, stronger compliance and a shift from operational work to strategic, data‑driven decision making.
