Workforce planning

Workday can help you gain insight into your entire global workforce—even your on-demand workers. You gain visibility into where people work, what they do, their skills, how well they contribute to strategic priorities, how well they’re performing and the associated costs. Using the functionality of Workday, we help you align your workers with your business goals, analyzing and balancing your talent supply.

Adaptive planning

Workday Adaptive planning is a unified planning, reporting and analytics suite that’s designed for active planning and enables data integration with various sources. We take an agile, iterative approach to designing and building Workday Adaptive planning solutions, providing integrated solutions aligned to your strategic business objectives by tapping into a broad range of skills across our firm.

Segregation of Duties and Sensitive Access Assessment

PwC’s Workday Segregation of Duties (SoD) and Sensitive Access (SA) Assessment Solution is an automated tool that evaluates and identifies access violations relating to SoD and SA. It provides users with a dashboard view of various conflicts identified, along with a spreadsheet that details the cause of each conflict based on the organization’s Workday configuration.

Running this tool allows you to gain valuable insights, such as:

Which users can view, modify and/or extract data?
Which security groups and users have pervasive access or access to sensitive system functions?
Are there any users that are part of security groups that grant them conflicting access rights?
Are there any security groups with inherent conflicting access rights?
Which business processes are designed with an inherent segregation of duty conflict?
