Innovation at Workday

Starting from Scratch >>

Workday was started with a very simple premise: We can do better. The company founders set out to build a brand-new business services company that could serve organizations more effectively and with less burden than traditional ERP systems. In order to succeed, Workday needed to throw out all of the assumptions that turned ERP into a huge, complex, and piecemeal solution that no longer meets business needs. Workday would have to start from scratch.

Cost Savings >>

On-premise ERP systems cost much more than their initial price suggests, and can be extremely difficult to predict ongoing costs or the level of service you'll receive from your systems. Workday offers a predictable subscription pricing model that includes all the necessary services to help maximize the productivity of your workforce. Don't just buy software—maximize your investment with Workday.
