What is RIF? Just found this page and feeling out of my element. Waiting for the rest of the shoes to drop. Grrgh
Fascinating...Doug M keeps talking about being more efficient. WM has rolled SAP out to ASDA and China. They are now switching over to a more expensive solution. Rumor has it that they will eventually remove SAP from ASDA and China and replace with Workday. So much for efficiencies...
Given the two-year evaluation that SuccessFactors previously went through and Workday’s statement today that there’s no update to its financial guidance for the 2018 fiscal year that’s about to start, it seems unlikely that Workday’s going to roll out to anything other than a small proportion of the Walmart workforce in the near future.
But the fact that Walmart has signed up not only for the core Workday HCM system but also the companion applications of Recruiting, Learning and Planning is still a major coup for the cloud pureplay, even if it’s just a trial for now. Walmart has been investing strongly in analytics capabilities in recent years, which may explain why the relatively new collaborative Planning tool has been included in the deal.
