    Workday is well suited for managing employees throughout their full life cycle. It excels at housing employee data from the start of their time with the company through their departure. Workday is less suited to payroll functions, which could be more robust.

    • The flexibility of going beyond handling the accounts, where we can handle cash, assets, and accounting simultaneously for the customer.
    • The single platform offers grants management where you can organize the lifecycle of the grants and synchronize it with any criteria of grant closing out scheme.
    • I personally liked Project billing with the essence of evaluating project revenue and nice reporting templates that can be shared with the customer at any stage of the project while having the flexibility of auditing the reported cost.

    Cons
    Epicor Software
    • I believe that iSAT improvement will bring more benefit to all iScala users
    • Longer support of the old Scala versions would bring more confidence for big Scala customers, because in big installations it's been very difficult and time-consuming to make version upgrades every 3-4 years.

    • Some of the Workday updates last till like 10 in the morning which prevents employees to clock in and check their times and some cases their schedules
    • Workday can work on opening documents quicker instead of taking couple of minutes or notifying the user when they are ready to download

    Workday is easy enough navigate, as long as it is properly set up. With that said, it can be put together in a modular fashion as well, allowing for a very high degree of flexibility in terms of design and process delegation. Finally, it makes consolidation achievable in times previously unthinkable.

    I have experience with multiple ERP software and I must say that iScala is the fastest system to work in so far. It doesn't have the same fancy shell like some others but at the end of the day the most important thing is the functionality and here is iScala outstanding.

    Despite Airtable also being easier to use one thing that differentiates and put forth Workday Financial Management tool above is it's key features and better suited functionality for handling confidential data. The other positive note where Workday Financial Management performs high is it key analytics tool that's easier to use and representation of information into insightful dashboards.

    Workday
    • We were able to combine 4 different HR modules into one system.
    • We reduced data breach incidents by 95% after shifting to Workday. One of our legacy softwares had vulnerabilities.
    • The initial learning curve was higher than projected. We spent about a week to 10 days extra time deploying it, which affected the profit center that year.
