Workday, Inc., the leader in SaaS-based enterprise solutions for
global human resources (HR), payroll, and financial management, and
CEC Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: CEC), a leader in family dining and
entertainment, today announced that CEC Entertainment has selected
Workday's solutions to manage its financial processes and a
workforce of approximately 17,000 employees. With Workday, CEC
Entertainment advances directly to a modern, unified SaaS system
for financial management, HR, and payroll, bypassing the era in
which traditional on-premise systems were the only choice for large
enterprises.
What's New As a unified SaaS-based system
for financial management, HR, and payroll, Workday provides to CEC
Entertainment:
- A multitenant SaaS delivery model, viewed by CEC Entertainment
as the right direction for business systems, both today and in the
future. Workday manages and delivers updates to all of its
customers three times a year over a matter of days to ensure
customers are current on the latest application and technology
innovations. This update process dramatically reduces IT complexity
and costs, allowing CEC Entertainment to focus its IT staff on
business enablement -- not infrastructure management.
- Access to critical business information and services for a
workforce increasingly on the go through Workday's innovative
mobile solutions available on all modern smartphones, as well as
native applications for the iPad® and iPhone® mobile devices.
- An intuitive interface and a consumer-like user experience that
will appeal to CEC Entertainment's digitally savvy workforce for
fast, broad adoption.
Workday Financial Management provides CEC Entertainment
with:
- A business-event driven financial solution that supports
comprehensive financial accounting requirements on a unified,
global platform.
- Customer-defined Worktags that let managers track transactional
data and analyze it across dimensions such as personnel, customers,
products, regions, and projects.
- The ability to dramatically simplify its chart of accounts,
reducing administration and maintenance costs, while maintaining
rich multi-dimensional business visibility.
- Built-in controls at the transactional level to support
governance and compliance in all regions in which it does
business.
Workday HCM offers CEC Entertainment:
- The ability for employees to easily update their own
information, such as address changes, using mobile devices.
- Industry-leading onboarding, administration, and talent
management capabilities, expected to dramatically update how CEC
Entertainment hires, deploys, and manages employees across more
than 500 stores.
Workday Payroll provides CEC Entertainment with:
- A flexible solution with intuitive and configurable
self-service capabilities for managing day-to-day and
period-to-period payroll activities.
- Employee self-service for online payslips and year-end tax
statements, manager self-service for analyzing pay results, and
automatic tax updates via Workday's SaaS delivery model.
Comments on the News "By selecting
Workday, our company was able to leapfrog yesterday's on-premise
technologies with a system that will support our business now and
in the future," said Tiffany Kice, executive vice president, chief
financial officer, and treasurer at CEC Entertainment. "The way
Workday designed its system from the ground up, with features such
as built-in business intelligence, auditing and controls, an
incredibly intuitive user interface, and great mobile device
support, demonstrated to us that Workday is uniquely positioned to
best meet our business needs."

user-friendly solution that will grow with its business," said Dave
Duffield, Workday co-founder and co-CEO. "It's exciting to see
