| Workday | Oracle PeopleSoft ERP | Workday Financial Management | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2020 | 2021 |
In 2020, Franklin Templeton implemented Workday Financial Management. This Workday Financial Management deployment, classified as ERP Financial, was part of a deliberate move to standardize finance systems alongside existing Workday HCM and Workday Payroll and to adopt Workday Adaptive Planning to support a new finance operating model.
The deployment emphasized core ERP Financial capabilities typical for large asset managers, including a centralized general ledger and financial consolidation, role appropriate reporting and real time information delivery, and planning workflows integrated with Workday Adaptive Planning. Configuration work prioritized end user oriented reporting and self service access so business stakeholders could consume financial information in formats that make sense to their roles.
Franklin Templeton replaced Oracle PeopleSoft ERP as part of the program and unified financial data from recent acquisitions including Legg Mason, O'Shaughnessy Asset Management, and Lexington Partners. Integrations were organized to align master data across Workday HCM, Workday Payroll, and the Adaptive Planning instance, enabling consistent planning inputs and consolidated financial views across the expanded organization.
Governance and process transformation accompanied the technical rollout, with a talent optimization program that posts new assignments for volunteers and enables temporary role rotation to broaden change ownership. Franklin Templeton also cultivated internal change agents to promote adoption, and structured incremental rollout and learning cycles to manage employee burnout during periods of acquisition integration and systems change.
The combined Workday Financial Management and Workday Adaptive Planning implementation supported Franklin Templeton's objective to empower end users with real time information and to operationalize a new finance operating model while bringing acquired businesses into a standardized ERP Financial environment.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday Cash Management | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, Franklin Templeton implemented Workday Cash Management as part of its broader move to Workday Financial Management. Workday Cash Management was deployed within the firm’s ERP Financial footprint to support treasury and cash operations for its investment-management business.
The implementation focused on module-level cash management capabilities, with configuration centered on cash visibility and reconciliation workflows. Workday Cash Management was used to centralize cash position reporting and to standardize reconciliation processes alongside accounting and reporting modules in Workday Financial Management.
Operational coverage included the finance organization supporting Franklin Templeton’s investment-management business in the United States, integrating cash management workflows with the rest of the Workday Financial Management environment. The deployment followed a SaaS architecture consistent with Workday, enabling unified ledger and subledger alignment for treasury functions.
Governance changes emphasized standardized treasury procedures and tighter reconciliation controls, modernizing accounting and reporting processes across finance. Rollout activities aligned cash management processes with existing finance controls to create a consistent operational model across business units.
The implementation of Workday Cash Management supported improved cash visibility and reconciliation across the finance organization, reflecting the stated objective to modernize accounting, reporting and treasury processes.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday People Analytics | Workforce Analytics | HCM | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018 Franklin Templeton implemented Workday People Analytics to establish an enterprise Workforce Analytics capability that centralized people data for HR and talent leadership. The deployment anchored reporting and insights for global talent acquisition and broader HR planning across the firm.
Workday People Analytics was configured to deliver role-based dashboards, headcount and organizational reporting, turnover and retention analysis, and diversity and recruitment funnel analytics consistent with Workforce Analytics best practices. The implementation was deployed alongside prior enterprise work in people analytics and talent systems, including a Visier People platform used for talent acquisition reporting and a separate global Workday ATS implementation, enabling coordinated analytics coverage without asserting direct point to point integrations.
Governance for the deployment was embedded in Global Talent Acquisition strategy and enterprise talent governance, reflecting the organization structure covering Investment Management, Trading, Risk, Technology, Sales, Marketing, Product, and G and A functions. The Workday People Analytics implementation supported talent integration planning during multiple M and A activities and was operated within centralized HR reporting and talent governance processes led by the Global Talent Acquisition leadership team.
