Onboarding Extends Warm Welcome in Workday 16 >>

At Workday, we talk a lot about the importance of people to business success—people deliver results and get things done. There is no better time for organizations to start making employees feel valued and productive than at the beginning. Our customers recognize this critical and sensitive time, and put onboarding at the top of their strategic programs lists for 2012—particularly as they look to grow strategically amidst economic uncertainty. That’s why we’re so excited to offer onboarding in Workday 16, announced last week, which will help our customers extend a warm welcome and establish great relationships with new hires even before their first day at work.

Workday’s Fresh Approach to Financial Management >>

When Workday was founded seven years ago, we completely rethought enterprise software as it was then known. A shift was underway—one where a finance professional’s focus on accounting and transaction processing was evolving to include analytics and business leadership. The office of the CFO needed better information access, ways to make faster decisions, and a deeper understanding of costs, revenue, and profitability across the organization. On-premise software, built decades ago, couldn’t make the transition. So at Workday, we started from scratch. We leveraged the newest technologies and the newest ways of thinking, and set out to deliver a unified financial management and HCM solution. We share a strong sense of pride at Workday around having achieved that goal.

Delivering the HTML5 Experience to Workday Customers >>

It’s that time again when Workday issues a new update as part of our regular innovation cycle, delivered three times a year. Per our usual practice, we have put out a news release that covers the highlights of Workday 16. As you can see, we were quite busy building new capabilities into our Financial Management, Human Capital Management, and Payroll applications. I want to thank all the great people in our product and technology organizations for yet another job well done.
