Tieto Puts HR on the Path to Digital Transformation With Workday

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Aug 31, 2016) -  Workday, Inc. (NYSE: WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today announced that Tieto, one of the Nordics' leading IT software and services companies, has selected Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) to help transform its HR and talent management capabilities. With Workday, Tieto is moving to a modern, cloud-based HR system that will support improved employee experience, the digitalization of the company's HR processes, and better business decisions based on real-time reporting and data analytics capabilities.

Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, and employing over 13,000 people in 20 countries, Tieto captures opportunities from the data-driven world and transforms them into value for people, business, and society. With its new strategy Tieto is accelerating innovation and growth, and to support this across its global operations, the company was looking for a single, unified HR system to replace a mixed set of legacy solutions.

With Workday HCM, Tieto expects to:

• Empower employees and managers with an intuitive interface that enables them to access relevant information and perform tasks on the go from mobile devices.
   
• Streamline HR processes to free up time for HR partners to focus on strategic activities and initiatives that drive business value.
   
• Improve real-time analytics and reporting to equip managers with robust, reliable data about their people and teams, and provide business leaders with clear insight into the entire workforce.
   
• Better retain talent and high-performing staff with the ability to track and manage the entire employee lifecycle -- from recruitment to succession planning -- all in one system.
   
• Avoid time-consuming upgrades by leveraging continuous innovation from Workday's development on a single code line delivered in the cloud.
