Workday Advisory Partner
with the AI edge.

FrontierSolutions is Australia's specialist Workday advisory firm operating at the intersection of Workday and AI — built for a fast‑changing environment where traditional implementation and advice are no longer enough.

We help enterprise and government organisations unlock genuine value from Workday's capabilities and the latest AI enhancements — independently, without implementation conflicts.

The independent Workday advice your investment deserves.

FrontierSolutions is an Australia‑based Workday Advisory Partner. We support enterprise and government organisations to implement, optimise and evolve Workday — bringing clarity across HR, Finance, operating models and emerging AI capabilities.

We're not just system advisors. We help you connect Workday to the way your organisation actually works — its people, processes, decisions and future direction — so you can move with confidence and realise meaningful value in a fast‑changing environment.

We flex to your needs

No two Workday journeys are the same. Some clients need us before they've signed a licence; others need us mid-implementation when things have gone sideways; others are post go-live and want to unlock AI. We meet you exactly where you are — and our scope, depth, and commercial model flex to match.

Transparent and independent

We carry no implementation revenue, no Workday licence margin, and no referral fees from services partners. Our only financial incentive is to give you the best possible advice. When we tell you not to activate an agent, or that your SI is underperforming, or that your business case doesn't stack up — we mean it, because nothing else is at stake for us.

True experts

We assemble a team of highly experienced experts tailored to your scope — each bringing extensive, hands‑on experience in their field. Our model is intentionally flexible, scaling up or down based on what you need. We move fast, deliver quick turnarounds, and work side‑by‑side with you to solve real problems.

At every stage of
your Workday journey.

At FrontierSolutions, we support you at every stage of your Workday journey — Plan, Implement, Innovate. Our team brings deep experience and the flexibility to shape our services around your needs, so together we can deliver the best outcomes for you and your organisation.

Plan Before you commit — strategy, selection, and readiness
Strategy 01

Strategy & Business Case

For organisations considering Workday or expanding their estate. We build the case for change — quantifying the ROI, modelling total cost of ownership, and producing a CFO-ready business case that gives the board a clear basis for decision.

Case for Change TCO Modelling Board-ready
Duration: 4–6 weeks
Roadmap 02

AI Readiness & Roadmap

For organisations already on Workday. We assess your data foundation, Illuminate use case opportunity, Flex Credits budget position, and governance gaps — then deliver an 18–24 month AI roadmap that is costed, sequenced, and board-ready.

Illuminate Flex Credits Data Foundation Governance
Duration: 4–6 weeks
Advisory 03

SI Selection & Contract Advisory

Once you've committed to Workday, choosing the right implementation partner is the most consequential decision you'll make. We run the vendor evaluation, manage the RFI/RFP, and advise on contract terms — entirely on your side of the table.

RFI / RFP Vendor Evaluation Contract Advisory
Duration: 6–24 weeks · Scope-dependent
Implement Client-side only — we represent you, not the SI
Implementation Support 04

Transformation Delivery

Hands-on alongside your SI when you need an independent client-side voice doing the work — change management, business requirements facilitation, data migration advisory, and UAT oversight. We work with your SI, not against them, but we answer only to you.

Change Management Business Requirements Data Migration UAT Oversight
Duration: As per your needs
Advisory 05

Programme Assurance

Independent oversight of your Workday programme — client-side PMO, delivery assurance, QA governance, and steering committee support. We carry no implementation revenue, so our only incentive is to protect your programme, your budget, and your go-live date.

Client-side PMO Delivery Assurance QA Governance Steering Committee
Duration: As per your needs
Innovate Post go-live — value realisation, release adoption, and AI activation
Value 06

Value Realisation & Health Checks

Go-live is the start, not the finish. We measure whether your business case outcomes are being achieved — adoption rates, configuration quality, security posture, and feature uptake — and build the roadmap for what comes next.

Health Check Adoption Release Mgmt Optimisation
Duration: 6–8 weeks
Advisory 07

Release Readiness Advisory

Workday releases new features and enhancements twice a year. We review the upcoming release in the context of your configuration, identify the changes that matter to your organisation, and guide your team through a structured adoption plan — so you stay current and capture value with every update.

Release Review Feature Adoption Impact Assessment Change Enablement
Duration: 2–4 weeks
AI-first 08

AI Agents & Automation

End-to-end delivery across the Workday AI agent stack. We identify high‑value use cases, configure and activate Illuminate™ and Sana™ agents, build custom agents using Workday Build, Extend and Flowise, and establish the governance framework — including Agent System of Record (ASOR) and Microsoft Entra Agent ID integration — to manage agents safely at scale.

Illuminate™ & Sana™ Custom Agent Build ASOR Governance Flowise
Duration: 6–8 weeks

We speak Workday AI natively.

We launched FrontierSolutions because organisations need a new kind of Workday partner — one that can implement Workday in a world being reshaped by AI, where traditional approaches are no longer enough.

FrontierSolutions combines deep Workday expertise with real experience in automation and AI across the broader ecosystem. This allows us to advise and deliver at the frontier of a fast‑changing environment, helping you get more value from Workday today and stay ahead of what's coming next.

Julia Fraccaro
Julia Fraccaro
Founder & CEO

Julia brings two decades of experience leading HR and Finance transformation across complex organisations, with deep expertise in Workday, cloud platforms and AI‑enabled operating models. She has been part of the Workday ecosystem since 2016, founding and scaling Deloitte's Workday Financials practice in Australia and delivering large‑scale, high‑impact programmes across APAC. She later led Accenture's Microsoft business across Australia and New Zealand, giving her a rare blend of Workday depth and broader digital, data and cloud capability.

Julia's approach to transformation is grounded in the belief that HR, Finance and technology are interconnected systems — not separate workstreams. She designs and delivers programmes holistically, ensuring people, process, data and technology move forward together so change is sustainable, human‑centred and genuinely embedded.

A mother of two, Julia founded the business to build a firm that reflects her values — honest, collaborative and deeply human transformation that improves how organisations operate and how people experience work.

"Workday creates possibility. The real transformation happens when organisations know how to use it well."

Independent, yet Workday-aligned

Trusted partner status with Workday, but our primary loyalty is to you. We advocate for your interests in every conversation.

Flexible to your needs

Advisory, implementation, optimisation, or ongoing support — we flex our engagement model around what you actually need, not a fixed service catalogue.
