Case Study: Equifax achieves unified global HCM and payroll efficiency with Workday

Workday and Equifax Creating One Global Team with Unified HCM and Payroll

Equifax, a leading credit bureau and data analytics company with roughly 6,800 employees and 5,000 contingent workers across 17 countries, was hampered by a patchwork of legacy HR and payroll systems that produced inconsistent data, costly integrations, slow payroll runs, and limited reporting—preventing the company from operating as a unified global organization and forcing HR into tactical maintenance work instead of strategic decision support.

Equifax deployed Workday Human Capital Management and Workday Payroll (U.S. and Canada) in a global, big‑bang rollout completed faster and under budget. The unified platform created a single source of truth, harmonized processes, improved manager and employee self‑service, cut payroll processing from about 1.5 hours to minutes, reduced maintenance and upgrade costs, and freed HR to focus on strategic initiatives—delivering immediate ROI and stronger global collaboration.
