Our story

The problems we saw became the standards we built around.

Hazeberg was shaped by years of hands-on Workday experience across implementations, data conversions, integrations, and application support. We saw the same challenges repeat, from solutions that did not fit the business to customers left without enough support after go-live.

That experience led us to build a specialist Workday practice where expertise stays focused, delivery stays accountable, and the relationship continues beyond implementation.

Our mission

Make Workday work better for the organizations that rely on it.

Bring focused Workday expertise to every engagement, from implementation through ongoing support and optimization.

Our vision

Raise the standard for Workday partnership.

Build a specialist practice known for deep expertise, accountable delivery, and long-term customer relationships.

Specialists in Workday. Invested in what comes next.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Building a Workday consulting company from Coimbatore, with a global vision.

Sakthi Vignesh is the Founder and CEO of Hazeberg Consulting LLP, a Workday-focused consulting firm built with a simple belief: quality should always come before quantity.

With deep experience in the Workday ecosystem, Sakthi founded Hazeberg with the ambition of creating a consulting organization that combines strong technical expertise, trusted customer relationships, and a culture where people can grow. What started as a focused entrepreneurial venture has grown into a global Workday consulting team supporting customers across multiple Workday programs and geographies.

Under his leadership, Hazeberg has developed expertise across Workday HCM, Finance, Integrations, PRISM, Adaptive Planning, Payroll, Reporting, Workday Extend, Orchestrate, Studio, and post-production support. The company works with organizations ranging from growing businesses to global enterprises, including Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 organizations.

Sakthi's approach to building Hazeberg is rooted in three principles: stay specialized, stay close to customers, and continuously invest in people. He believes that a consulting company's greatest strength is not its size, but the quality of its people and the trust it builds with every engagement.

He is also the driving force behind BERG, a platform created specifically for the Workday ecosystem, bringing together Workday customers, consulting firms, and professionals on a unified platform.

Beyond Business

For Sakthi, entrepreneurship is not simply about building a company. It is about creating opportunities, developing talent, and building something that can create a lasting impact.

He believes great companies are built by people who work hard, work smart, work together, and celebrate their journey along the way.

From building a Workday practice in Coimbatore to creating a global consulting organization, Sakthi continues to focus on one goal — building Hazeberg into a trusted name in the Workday ecosystem, one customer and one consultant at a time.

How we're built

Four commitments, and what keeps them true.

Most firms make similar claims. Each of ours is tied to something about how Hazeberg is set up, so you can check it rather than take it on trust.

  1. 01

    Workday, and only Workday

    Our consultants work in Workday every day, on nothing else.

    What keeps it true

    A significant share of the team is Workday-certified, with 200+ consolidated years of Workday experience.

  2. 02

    The people you meet do the work

    The consultants in the first conversation are the ones on your tenant, with no hand-off to a team you have never met.

    What keeps it true

    Delivery is led by practitioners with 11 to 15+ years each in Workday and enterprise systems.

  3. 03

    Close to your working day

    Coverage across time zones, at a price that reflects where the work is done.

    What keeps it true

    Two delivery entities. In Penang, Malaysia, in-country consultants run onshore workshops and same-time-zone hypercare. In Coimbatore, India, our center for scale provides 24/7 coverage. Together they support customers in 160+ countries across the Americas, EMEA and APAC.

    Straight about risk, here for the long run

    We name what could go wrong before it does, present targets as ranges rather than guarantees, and stay on through support, releases and new modules.

    What keeps it true

    100% customer retention.

Our leadership

Senior practitioners who still do the work.

Hazeberg is led by consultants with decades of Workday delivery between them, and they stay close to customer work.
