Industries Served

Diversified Industries

Holding companies, conglomerates, and multi-segment enterprises operate across business units with distinct operating models, workforce profiles, compliance requirements, and financial structures. We help these organizations configure Workday to serve every segment without forcing a single operating model on businesses that were never designed to operate identically.

The Challenge

One Platform. Many Operating Models. Zero Compromise.

Diversified organizations carry structural complexity that most Workday implementations are not initially designed for: business units that operate under different regulatory regimes, employ different workforce types, follow different approval hierarchies, and report financial results through different lenses. A configuration built around the largest or most common segment rarely serves the others well.

Our approach is to design Workday environments that respect the distinct identity of each business segment while enabling the consolidated visibility and centralized governance that corporate leadership and shared services require. The result is a platform that works for the field and for the parent organization at the same time.

What We Bring to This Industry

  • Multi-entity org design supporting distinct business unit structures
  • Segment-specific business process frameworks and approval chains
  • Consolidated and segmented financial and workforce reporting
  • M&A integration and divestiture support within Workday
  • Intercompany transaction and allocation configuration
  • Shared services model design across business unit boundaries
  • Cross-segment workforce planning and talent mobility frameworks
  • Governance models that balance segment autonomy with enterprise control

Enterprise Architecture

Configured for Complexity. Designed to Scale.

The decisions made during design determine whether the platform helps leadership manage complexity or adds to it. We build environments that stay manageable as the portfolio evolves.

Multi-Entity Org Design

Structure legal entities, business units, cost centers, and reporting hierarchies to reflect the actual shape of the enterprise, supporting both segment-level operations and consolidated corporate reporting simultaneously.

Segment-Specific Business Processes

Configure business processes that route, approve, and execute differently by business unit, supporting unique compliance requirements, leadership structures, and operational workflows without duplicating configurations unnecessarily.

Consolidated & Segmented Reporting

Deliver segment leaders a view of their own operations while corporate finance and HR access consolidated dashboards across all business units. Intercompany eliminations, allocations, and roll-ups configured to match your reporting hierarchy.

M&A Integration & Divestiture Support

Integrate acquired businesses into the existing Workday environment efficiently, or carve out divested units cleanly. We manage org restructures, data migrations, security transitions, and process realignment without disrupting ongoing operations.

Shared Services Model Design

Design and configure the workflows, security roles, and service delivery processes that allow a central HR, finance, or IT function to support multiple business units efficiently without blurring entity boundaries or creating compliance exposure.

Cross-Segment Talent & Workforce Planning

Enable talent visibility and mobility across business units, connecting skills inventories, open headcount, and workforce demand so that enterprise leadership can deploy the right people to the right segments at the right time.

Workday Financials Suite

One Financial Platform Across Every Business Unit

Workday Financials gives diversified organizations a single financial management environment that supports distinct segment requirements while delivering consolidated reporting across every business unit, eliminating the reconciliation burden and reporting lag that come with fragmented financial systems.

Multi-Entity & Segment Financial Consolidation

Consolidate financial data across wholly owned subsidiaries, operating segments, and acquired business units with automated intercompany eliminations. Produce both legal entity and management reporting views from the same underlying data.

Intercompany Transaction Management

Automate intercompany billing, cost allocations, and settlement workflows across business units to reduce manual reconciliation, accelerate period-end close, and maintain accuracy in consolidated financial statements.

Shared Services Financial Operations

Configure shared services cost allocation models, internal billing workflows, and cross-entity financial reporting so corporate and operating unit teams have full visibility into shared cost consumption and service delivery performance.

Financial Planning Across Segments

Connect segment workforce plans, capital budgets, and operating forecasts in Workday Adaptive Planning. Build consolidated and segment-level financial models without moving data between systems to plan, reforecast, and analyze performance.

Leadership Visibility

One View for Corporate. Full Detail for the Segment.

When each business unit manages its own reporting outside of Workday, corporate leadership is perpetually waiting for manually assembled packages that are already out of date. The right Workday configuration makes consolidated reporting automatic and gives corporate finance and HR real-time visibility across every segment.

We configure reporting and analytics frameworks that surface enterprise-wide workforce and financial data without requiring segment teams to change how they operate day to day. Segment leaders see what they need to run their business; corporate leaders see the full picture.

  • Enterprise headcount, cost, and workforce trend dashboards
  • Business unit financial consolidation with intercompany eliminations
  • Cross-segment succession and talent pipeline visibility
  • Shared services utilization and cost allocation reporting
  • M&A integration progress and workforce alignment tracking
