MRI Software LLC announced that it has joined the Workday partner program, bringing together its facilities management (FM) solutions with Workday Financial Management and Workday Human Capital Management. The integrated offering will help empower global facilities management organizations and public sector bodies to modernize operations and deliver more efficient, people-centric services, the company said.
FM organizations have historically struggled to link their talent and finance functions directly to the complex operational realities of managing buildings, assets and service contracts. By integrating MRI’s facilities management solutions with Workday, this partnership helps empower organizations to move beyond siloed spreadsheets and fragmented systems, enabling one conversation across multiple departments, including HR, finance and operations.
This integration will help enable MRI and Workday clients worldwide to visualize and manage the entire contract lifecycle in a connected ecosystem. The integration bridges the gap between “winning business” and “starting work.” Bid data from MRI flows directly into Workday to trigger automated staffing, onboarding and payroll setup, helping to reduce the cost and time to deploy new contracts.
By feeding operational data — such as job completion status, asset lifecycle trends and supply chain governance — back into Workday, the system gives finance teams visibility into the physical context of their spend. This is designed to facilitate accurate, timely billing based on real-time field data, helping to reduce write-offs and automating complex payroll processing for field staff.
This partnership allows clients to extend their ERP investment beyond the back office and into the physical built environment. By combining Workday’s financial power with MRI’s asset and lease data, organizations will gain a near-real-time view of delivery quality, margin performance and compliance.
“MRI Software is proud to partner with Workday to help organizations realize digital change across the broad spectrum of people, finance, and operational delivery,” said Sean Slack, vice president of global partnerships at MRI Software. “Our partnership with Workday brings a powerful, integrated approach that supports service excellence while creating efficiency and long-term value for our clients.”
