Workday Partners with Trintech for Financial Close

You’re no longer working with a single unified platform — you’re managing two product roadmaps, two support teams, and two separate escalation paths when issues arise.

It's harder to use than the sales pitch suggested

Steep learning curve, complex terminology, and changes that require skills most finance teams don't have.

Your Migration Path to Prophix

1

Assess

We conduct a structured review of your existing Workday Adaptive environment — including entity hierarchies, dimensional models, consolidation logic, eliminations, reporting outputs, and close workflows.

2

Design

Your current consolidation rules, currency logic, and reporting standards are mapped into Prophix One using proven design frameworks and pre-built templates.

Rather than recreating technical debt, we optimize the model for long-term maintainability — so finance can manage it without developer dependency.

3

Controlled Data & Logic Migration

Data, master records, and core models are transitioned through a controlled migration process designed to protect dimensional integrity and consolidation accuracy. Historical data is preserved where required, and logic is validated throughout the process to ensure consistency with your current reporting outputs. The burden on your internal team is minimized, and disruption to the close cycle is carefully managed.

4

Parallel Validation Before Go-Live

Before go-live, consolidation results, eliminations, currency translations, and reporting outputs are tested through structured parallel validation. This confirms financial accuracy and provides full transparency prior to cutover. Your team transitions with confidence, knowing the integrity of your financial data and reporting processes has been maintained.
