Case Study: CareFusion achieves rapid global HR deployment and significant cost savings with Workday

Workday and CareFusion Off and Running at the Speed of Global Business

CareFusion, a San Diego–based medical technology company with about 15,000 employees and $3.5 billion in revenue, needed to move quickly and globally while keeping HR and workforce data aligned. Spun out in 2009, the company couldn’t wait for a lengthy on‑premise ERP build and required a scalable, compliant solution to support rapid market entry, field sales mobility, and worldwide visibility into employees and contingent workers.

CareFusion selected Workday’s cloud HCM and deployed it in seven months with 130 integrations, gaining mobile access, a single global view of the workforce, and built‑in compliance across 33 countries. Deployment costs were roughly 40% lower than traditional ERPs, ongoing IT costs fell by 50–60%, and HR became a strategic partner—freeing resources to invest in customer‑facing initiatives and accelerating business growth.
