PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - May 18, 2009) - Workday, Inc., the leader in
enterprise-class SaaS-based Human Resources (HR) and Financial solutions,
today announced that McKee Foods, a leading provider of snack foods
including Little Debbie® Snack Cakes, is using Workday to manage HR and
Payroll for its 6,500 U.S.-based employees.
What's New
-- McKee Foods is now live on Workday's Human
Capital Management (HCM) and Payroll solutions.
- Workday replaced an aging on-premise HR and Payroll system that no longer
met the company's needs and had become increasingly expensive due to
growing hardware, upgrade and maintenance costs.
-- McKee Foods is achieving significant cost savings from its Workday
solution through
- Elimination of much of the IT infrastructure required to support
on-premise HCM and Payroll;
- Shifting operations toward more paperless business processes, while still
enabling employees to access pay slips online or via shop-floor kiosks;
- Streamlining processes and delivering easy-to-use manager and employee
self-service.
-- Workday has published a case study outlining McKee Foods' selection of its HCM and
Payroll solutions.
-- McKee Foods recently participated in a webinar titled "Workday Payroll, Built for the
Enterprise."
