The country-specific HR solutions yielded fragmented and incomplete information. Initially, PeopleSoft was chosen as the solution to meet these needs. Budget constraints and the need for too many customizations made a global implementation of PeopleSoft virtually impossible. After several attempts to implement PeopleSoft successfully, Remy looked elsewhere for a more innovative solution to unify the worker population. Read More

Solution	In Workday’s SaaS model, Remy found the configuration methods to be better suited to its dynamic global needs. We worked with Remy’s team to deploy various Workday functionalities in multiple phases including Workday Core HCM, Absence, Benefits, Compensation, Payroll, Performance, and Integration Development.
