Back office transformation with KPMG Powered Enterprise and Workday Prism
KPMG helped the brokerage firm build a strategy and business case based on workshops and company needs assessments. Using the KPMG Powered Enterprise approach, the team focused on process improvement and a holistic operating model in addition to the technology. The RFP process resulted in selecting the Workday Cloud software suite for human capital management (HCM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP).
Throughout the process, KPMG helped the firm use Workday’s Prism framework to blend historic and current data, as well as external and Workday data, to construct a back office built for the future, ready to scale and evolve as the client grows. Two years of financial data, two years of supply management spend data, and three years of HCM transactions were successfully converted to the new system, and the accounting structure was integrated to enable better reporting and drill-down capabilities. In essence, the brokerage firm achieved a single point of truth across its functions and data.
By tapping into a strong relationship with KPMG, our client began a program to develop a future-focused data strategy and implement the right cloud-enabled systems to achieve its goals.
KPMG helped our client achieve more integration, automation and self-service capabilities while Workday Prism analytics provided insights across finance, HR, and supply chain enabling the organization to access the right data for improved decision-making.

Confidence in our experience with Workday and the Prism framework.
