World Wildlife Fund harnesses the power of Workday

WWF teamed up with Accenture to deploy a tailored solution, consolidating the legacy systems down to three applications on the Workday cloud-based platform. The project was designed to better connect WWF’s pre-and post-award grant process, providing more visibility, rapid and meaningful insights and more defined process operations. Accenture supported data integrations, reporting and analytics and provided training and other change management support. The new technology deployment enables progress towards WWF’s strategic goals for efficiency, transparency and mission impact. Now, staff can access real-time organizational data to solve problems and advance the mission.

WWF can now manage the grant lifecycle—from proposal through close-out—in one integrated solution that is far less labor-intensive and accessible from anywhere, anytime, with any device. As the implementation was global, WWF can reap the benefits of shared systems, with intuitive self-service capabilities, and consistent best practices across all its offices. The simpler, more secure systems are serviced by regular updates that ensure up-to-date functionality.

These outcomes, along with increased comprehensiveness and real-time accuracy of the data, mean WWF can put funds towards its mission more quickly and tap into greater donor confidence.
