Executive Summary As a Value-Added Reseller of Workday and ServiceNow, PTG assists customers throughout their modernization of their enterprise and service management applications. We are proud to offer Region 14 and NCPA customers the suite of Workday and ServiceNow products and related services. Throughout this Region 14 and NCPA RFP Response, you will find that PTG and our solutions bring our customers value, more predictability in costs, greater efficiency, and improved processes across the enterprise. Workday The world of work is changing faster than ever before. Many enterprise applications can no longer keep pace with changes in the market. Emerging technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and blockchain are giving birth to new ideas and new ways of doing business. These technologies are also redefining work including how, when, and where people work. Many of the solutions on the market today, while being offered in the cloud, are simply a patchwork of different systems stitched together with integrations and are unable to support the collaborative, streamlined experience today’s organizations need. Modern organizations need systems that are flexible, user-friendly, and innovative and that continuously evolve to keep pace with a changing world. That’s why Workday built the Workday Service — a cloud-native finance, human resources, and planning system that can grow as the customer grows and evolves. Workday offers a fresh approach to enterprise applications and a radically different ownership experience than traditional software and other cloud solution providers. Workday’s Power of One philosophy includes one source for data, one security model, one user experience, and one community for customers allowing Workday to innovate faster and meet the highest security standards. With Workday, customers experience unprecedented value with the ability to plan, execute, and analyze in a single system to meet their operational needs. Skills are the new currency to support new ways of working and to optimize talent at scale. With the innovative Workday skills foundation, your organization can use skills to continue to shape, align, and reskill an agile workforce. Powered by machine learning, Workday’s flexible, scalable architecture gives Region 14 ESC and NCPA’s customers the tools and capabilities each need to attract, develop, and engage their employees as well as support financial transactions, controls, and analytics from any device.
