About Daily Mail and General Trust 

Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT) is a British multinational media conglomerate, with a mission to deliver compelling insights on news and events to over 160 million monthly users globally. DMGT implemented Workday HCM in 2018 to supporting over 5000 employees across multiple businesses and locations.

The challenge   

A complex, multi-organisation structure and a high volume of system integrations meant that manually testing change was unsustainable. With a drive to maximise their Workday investment and impact across the business, a new change management approach was a priority for DMGT’s HRIS team. 

“Smart Test allows us to get our maximum value out of Workday and to drive our roadmap forward. We look forward to our continuing partnership with Kainos.”
