Unveiled as part of its new global transformation strategy, Centrica will replace its on-premise legacy systems with Workday to position the company and its workforce for future growth and success.

With operations spanning eight countries and several brands, the company's leadership realised its multiple, on-premise legacy systems for HR lacked the tools and insights required to drive the business forward.

With Workday, Centrica plans to:
