Strategic LEAP Advisory for a Scalable Workday® Deployment with Abnormal AI

SERVICES:

  • Launch Enhancement Assistance Program (LEAP)
  • Pre-implementation Advisory Services

The Situation

As Abnormal AI prepared to implement Workday, they faced a challenge familiar to many fast-growing organizations: aligning complex business processes and data structures with the requirements of a new system. With multiple stakeholders and intricate workflows, the risks of costly rework, data inconsistency, and implementation delays were high.

 

Abnormal needed a partner who could guide them through strategic pre-implementation planning and ensure their data readiness before configuration began. 

 

 


 

 

The Outcome

Through Syssero’s LEAP program, Abnormal AI successfully transitioned into the Workday configuration phase without major redesigns or delays. Clean and organized data reduced post-go-live issues, while proactive stakeholder engagement fostered stronger adoption across the organization. The pre-implementation focus on alignment and readiness minimized rework, saving both time and cost. 

 

Abnormal AI realized tangible benefits from Syssero’s involvement, including: 

 

  1. Reduced Implementation Risk: Early alignment prevented common pitfalls.
  2. Improved Data Integrity: Governance practices ensured system accuracy.
  3. Higher Stakeholder Adoption: Early involvement created stronger organizational buy-in.
  4. Long-term Success: A scalable, optimized foundation for future growth.
  5. Enhanced Governance and Compliance: Established clear ownership, audit-ready processes, and standardized controls that reduced operational risk and improved regulatory readiness. 

 

 

 

Overview

Syssero engaged Abnormal AI through its LEAP (Launch Enhancement Assistance Program), a pre-implementation advisory service designed to help organizations enter their Workday deployment with confidence.

Over several weeks, Syssero consultants worked closely with Abnormal’s team to map and document critical business process flows, analyze and optimize data structures for accuracy and consistency, engage stakeholders early to align priorities and proactively identify potential configuration pitfalls 

This structured LEAP engagement gave the Abnormal team a clear roadmap, ensuring that when configuration began, processes were aligned, data was clean, and stakeholders were prepared for change. 

With Workday now live, Abnormal AI has “graduated” from Syssero’s LEAP program into Application Management Services (AMS), where they continue to optimize and scale their system. Syssero remains a trusted advisor, helping Abnormal identify new opportunities for enhancement and stability as their organization evolves. 

Through LEAP, clients benefit from: 

  • Process Alignment: Defining and documenting processes before configuration. 
  • Data Readiness & Integrity: Identifying gaps and ensuring accuracy before go-live. 
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Preparing leaders early to reduce resistance and boost adoption. 

 

This holistic approach gave Abnormal AI the strong Workday foundation needed to maximize their investment and position their system for long-term success. 

Unlike competitors who focus solely on technical configuration, Syssero differentiates itself by emphasizing strategic pre-implementation advisory.
