Pinnacle Group Wins Innovation Award at Workday Rising

DALLAS, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Workday named Pinnacle Group a 2025 winner of its annual Workday Professional and Business Services Innovation Awards. Announced at Workday Rising earlier this month, these awards honor Workday customers who consistently cultivate improvements across their organization, support and empower their peers, and advance the industry.

Pinnacle Group was recognized with the Smart Money Professional & Business Services (PBS) Innovation Award. The award was given in recognition of enhancements made to AP/AR connections for automated Pay When Paid processes.

"Pinnacle Group exemplifies what this award is all about. They have not just adopted Workday; they are using it strategically to streamline their financial operations and enhance service delivery globally and at scale," said Patrice Cappello, managing director for PBS and T&M industries for Workday. "Being recognized with the Smart Money Award is a testament to their commitment to innovation and to transforming how their teams work. Pinnacle Group is a powerful example of what is possible when innovative companies unlock the power of the Workday platform."

Receiving the award on Pinnacle Group's behalf was Justin Junkel, Executive Vice President of Global Technology, Operations, and Finance.

"Being recognized for innovation by Workday is an honor and something we are very proud of," said Junkel. "The new Pay-When-Paid Built-On Workday app has allowed us to significantly improve processing times, auditability and traceability of transactions in Workday, while also providing more capable real-time reporting on the connected AR/AP transaction in Workday. This is a major enhancement to the scalability of our global financial operations."

Junkel also gave a fireside chat at Workday Rising in collaboration with Accenture and Salesforce on the use of AI in Finance.

"Innovative spirit is one of our core values at Pinnacle Group. The way our team has leaned in to enhance and optimize Workday's features to better align with Pinnacle's needs and customer expectations is a perfect example of this value in action. Over the last five years, our investments in Workday have elevated our business to a new level and we look forward to continuing to innovate and evolve our utilization of this incredible platform," said Nina Vaca, Pinnacle Group's CEO.
