Workday Architect & PMP | AI Readiness | Strategic HR Transformation | Founder at CloudMcFly

CloudMcFly

Introduction: Companies today face two major challenges: maintaining a pristine Workday tenant AND simultaneously developing an AI strategy that goes beyond mere experimentation. With CloudMcFly, I combine 10+ years of experience as a Workday Architect & PMP with cutting-edge AI strategy consulting. I don't offer theoretical concepts; I deliver implementable solutions. Core Services:

1. AI Readiness & Process Audit Not every process requires AI. I analyze your HR/Finance processes (Workday & Non-Workday) to identify "low-hanging fruits" for automation and AI integration. Outcome: A concrete action plan including ROI calculation.
️ 2. AI Strategy & Governance Roadmap From vision to execution. Together, we define guidelines (Ethics, Data Privacy, EU AI Act) and select the right tools (ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, Custom Agents). Outcome: A secure roadmap approved by Management and IT.
️ 3. Workday Architecture & Optimization As a certified Architect, I ensure your Workday tenant remains stable while we integrate new technologies (Launch, PEX, Delivery Assurance).
1. Enablement & Workshops An "AI Driving License" for your teams. Hands-on workshops on Prompt Engineering, Automation (n8n/Make), and operational efficiency.
