About BINUS 

BINUS is one of the leading educational management institutions in Indonesia. Starting from a computer course with just dozens of students, BINUS now has BINUS School and BINUS University, providing educational services for tens of thousands of students. Set on becoming agile in this fast-paced world of work, the group engaged Alight to support the company in deploying Workday HCM and Financial Management, with the goal of becoming a data-driven enterprise utilising the latest innovation.

In this video, you'll discover how BINUS transformed their HR and finance processes with Alight and Workday achieving a 30% increase in efficiency, resulting in significant cost savings and improved customer satisfaction. Watch the success video below to learn more.

Challenge

Before the transformation journey, BINUS faced several challenges, including manual and time-consuming processes, lack of visibility into data, and difficulty in tracking expenses and revenues accurately.

Solution

To overcome these challenges, BINUS decided to do away with their old legacy system and deploy Workday HCM and Workday Financial Management in a two-phased project. The group switched to a cloud-based HCM and financial management solution that automated their processes, provided real-time visibility into data, and enabled accurate tracking of expenses and revenues. Alight’s experts worked closely with BINUS’ leadership and project management team to deploy the new system which integrated their HR and financial processes, streamlining their overall operations and improving collaboration between various departments.

Alight worked closely with the team at BINUS to understand their business requirements and pain points to design and implement a successful deployment strategy. Alight's certified experts play a crucial role in guiding and supporting the deployment cycle, from initial planning and design to final go-live and support. By taking extra care to dig deeper into BINUS’ needs, Alight was able to ensure a smooth and successful deployment.
