Every day, local governments across the United States are working to serve their citizens faster and more effectively. The Workday platform brings Workday Human Capital Management and Workday Financial Management together in one place, helping these governments manage their finances and their human and agentic resources in a single system.

"We understand the unique challenges local governments face, from managing complex budgets and workforces to delivering essential services to their communities," said Michael Hofherr, senior vice president and group general manager for industry, Workday. "We believe this recognition from Gartner reflects our success in providing a unified platform that enables our local government customers to be more agile and data-driven."

Citizen-centric Success with Workday's Local Government Customers

 "With Workday, we can answer questions and get to the root cause of problems quickly, and it's less complex than our previous system, which had 10 to 15 years worth of highly customized integrations," said Javier Baca, director of information technology, Pima County, AZ. "Less complexity results in greater efficiency."

"Workday gives us one HCM and finance solution – that now means one user experience and one security model," said Laurie Foster, accounting manager, Clark County, WA. "That's turned into a 60% faster payroll, a 15% reduction in unapproved spend, and $1.6 million in annual savings."
