Rapid transactional finance ERP migration
A government department successfully migrated its transactional finance services to a new ERP system in just 4 weeks.
Overview
A government department undertook a digital transformation programme to enhance operational efficiency and modernise financial workflows, migrating from a legacy ERP to Workday Financial Management. With limited time available, the department bought in Liberata as an experienced partner capable of rapidly delivering reliable transactional finance services.
The challenge
The department faced the ambitious goal of transitioning its financial operations to Workday within a strict four-week timeframe. Critical challenges included:
- Lack of Workday experience and process documentation from an outgoing supplier
- Limited access to Workday test environments, necessitating implementation directly into a live system
- Immediate requirement for smooth, uninterrupted transactional finance services, despite significant procedural and operational unknowns

- Leveraged Workday’s intuitive interface, embedded controls, and automation capabilities contributed towards completing the onboarding and user guide production within the four-week project deadline.
