It's a year since Walmart brought its various tech and development teams under a single management structure, with a further shake-up after completion of the Jet.com acquisition in November. The company says it will announce new technology leadership "shortly". In what may be related news, The Wall Street Journal yesterday reported that Karenann Terrell is stepping down as CIO of Walmart, five years after she took up the role in February 2012. We were told the company has "nothing to add beyond the information in the 8-K" at this time. It has been using SAP for back-office systems since 2007, although that implementation appears to be still ongoing - on stage at the SAPphire show in May 2015 to talk about its use of SAP HANA analytics, CIO Karenann Terrell joked that she hoped Walmart would finish its SAP implementation “in my lifetime.” It signed up for a 2.1 million roll-out of SuccessFactors in 2010 after completing a two-year trial with 300,000 employees. Walmart currently uses SAP HCM and SuccessFactors.

Enterprise cloud application vendor Workday today confirmed that it has added retail giant Walmart to its customer list for HCM applications.
