Telstra has ditched SAP to sign on with fast-growing US cloud software firm Workday, as it appoints a new local boss and hunts Aussie start-ups for its new $US250 million ($323 million) VC fund.
The company has made numerous dents in the operations of tech giants SAP and Oracle in recent years, and has previously lured the likes of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Qantas, Toll Holdings, Dexus, Salmat, Lendlease and ME Bank on to its software as a service platform.
Telstra will use its Human Capital Management (HCM) platform, in a move Workday’s co-president Chano Fernandez, said would form a key part of a broader digital transformation project under way within the country’s largest telecommunications company.
