According to PwC’s 28th Annual Global CEO Survey, 97% of CEOs have taken steps to change how they create, deliver and capture value over the past five years—highlighting the increasing importance of leveraging digital tools for long-term resilience. But success, however, doesn’t always require a complete technological overhaul; it can come from simply adopting the right solutions to remain competitive and adaptable. For medium enterprises (MEs), remaining relevant and agile often requires a smart approach to modernizing finance and HR systems. It is not about radical change—it’s about strategic and well-timed technology decisions to help drive long-term value.

Our Built to Scale services with Workday methodology is designed to help emerging enterprises modernize finance and human resources (HR) with industry leading practices and AI-driven solutions. It supports growing businesses to keep pace with evolving demands by helping streamline operations, increase efficiency and leverage automation without unnecessary costs. Beyond implementing new technology, it also enables organizations to build long-term stability and adaptability.

Why Built to Scale with Workday?

Innovative AI-driven solutions

By using specialized capabilities—like an AI-powered test case generator, a library of reusable integrations and a cloud-based platform for connecting systems—PwC’s AI-driven approach helps accelerate time to value. These pre-configured components help set the stage for effective and smooth data movement across systems, enabling enterprises to rapidly adapt to new technologies and operational demands. For example, our AI test case generator capabilities helps prevent the need for manual test case creation, increasing productivity and coverage while reducing human error.
