When Reporting Support Is Needed

  • Inconsistent or unreliable reports
    Reports produce conflicting outputs or unexpected results, reducing trust in data across business and leadership teams.
  • Complex business logic requirements
    Standard reporting cannot support layered logic, cross-functional needs, or evolving business requirements.
  • Audit or compliance reporting needs
    Gaps in reporting structure or data traceability are creating challenges for audits and regulatory requirements.
  • Performance issues with existing reports
    Slow or inefficient reports are impacting usability and limiting adoption across the organization.

Our Approach

Reporting Assessment

We review existing reports, calculated fields, data sources, and usage patterns to understand how reporting is being used across the organisation. This surfaces inconsistencies, duplication, and gaps before any redesign work begins.

  • Review of existing reports, calculated fields, and data sources
  • Identification of logic inconsistencies and duplicated reporting
  • Assessment of gaps in coverage and alignment with business needs
  • Analysis of usage patterns across teams and functions

Structured Report Design

We design advanced, matrix, and composite reports with a focus on clarity, usability, and consistency across functions. Every report is built to reflect accurate business logic while remaining intuitive for end users.

  • Design of advanced, matrix, and composite report types
  • Alignment with HR, Finance, and Operations reporting requirements
  • Consistent logic and structure applied across all report outputs
  • Usability review to support adoption by non-technical users

Data Validation and Reconciliation

We validate report outputs against underlying Workday data and, where needed, external systems. This builds confidence in the accuracy of data used for both operational and executive decisions.

  • Validation of report outputs against Workday source data
  • Reconciliation with external systems where applicable
  • Identification and resolution of data discrepancies
  • Documented validation to support audit and compliance requirements

Performance Optimization

We refine report logic, calculated fields, and data structures to reduce load times and improve day-to-day usability. The focus is on making reporting fast and reliable enough to support regular business operations.

  • Review and simplification of report logic and calculated fields
  • Optimisation of data structures to improve processing speed
  • Reduction of load times for high-frequency reports
  • Improved responsiveness across dashboards and scheduled outputs
