Case study

How we got there

From constraint to release: the problem, the approach, the build, and what changed after go-live.

The problem

Employees bounced between portals; managers approved PTO in email; HR answered the same policy questions daily.

The approach

We built a thin, fast UI on top of Workday reads/writes, added search across policies, and standardized approvals.

The solution

Self-service tasks cover the majority of requests; escalations route with context; audit logs satisfy compliance.
