The Challenge |
In 2018, Rubrik embarked on the implementation of Workday, facing a range of practical hurdles. Fast forward to 2023, and with operations spanning multiple countries, the need for seamless coordination became evident.
A central challenge emerged: to streamline processes, enabling managers, employees, and administrative teams to complete tasks with just one interaction or less with the People Team—an efficiency goal that posed considerable complexity.
“Kognitiv has been our key partner and Workday support partner for all key Workday projects. This SelfService project was one of the key projects in 2023 and nothing better comes to mind than Kognitiv.”
– Nazir Siddiqi, Director People Technology

The Solution |
Throughout the process, approximately 16 workshops were conducted by Rubrik and Kognitiv with Center of Excellence (COE) leads to meticulously scrutinize transaction requirements. These workshops specifically targeted transactions characterized by high volume and the highest value-added potential.
Valuable feedback was collected from COEs regarding the business impact and level of effort required to facilitate implementation. Subsequently, the People Technology Team estimated the necessary effort for building, configuring, testing, and launching these transactions. Additionally, high-level change management requirements were identified for each transaction, ensuring alignment with overarching guiding principles.
To streamline Workday business processes, the following actions were undertaken by the Kognitiv and Rubrik teams:
