Corteva is a global agricultural chemical company with $15.6B in revenue with a rich history of mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs since its founding in 1926. The company employs 22,000 regular employees supplemented by 40,000 temporary, seasonal workers through 500 agencies. Corteva uses Workday's HRMS and Visier for people analytics, but also requires many specialized and legacy HR platforms to meet the unique requirements of its business.
Corteva's history of mergers and acquisitions has resulted in a complicated collection of legacy systems and integrations supporting the company’s people processes - akin to a "House of Cards."
Additionally, Corteva has a complex and highly-variable workforce that spans regular, seasonal, and temporary employees.
Unfortunately, answering seemingly simple, yet important, business questions about people was previously not easily accomplished due to the myriad of people-related data systems supporting specialized business needs.
Historically, it took a Herculean effort to move people data among Corteva’s many global HR systems, further constrained by scarce access to technical resources to support the effort.
Corteva leverages The Cloud Connectors to implement sorely-needed upgrades to its antiquated technologies, so the company can quickly and confidently gain valuable insight about the people-side of its business.
The Cloud Connectors has empowered Corteva to manage, monitor, and control a sophisticated collection of data sources supporting its people analytics and workforce planning capabilities using Vizier, Workday, plus an ever-expanding list of specialized HR platforms and data sources.
The Cloud Connectors’ purpose-built iPaaS solution enabled Corteva’s HRMS/HR operations team to take control and independently manage its people data needs, eliminating the need for expensive external technical resources.
"The reason we selected The Cloud Connectors is because they understood moving people data and the associated terminology used in tandemwith this domain. For example, I didn’t have to explain what a “referral” or an “offer” was; they just knew. This is really one of the things that I value.The Cloud Connectors’ experts know what to look for. They know the booby traps and the tricky issues that are inherent in the ways our vendorsspecifically handle the data."
