Chief technology officer Stan Swete said Workday’s headcount has risen to more than 350 people, from about 280 at the end of 2008. A key selling point during the recession is Workday’s embrace of the software-as-a-service model, Swete said.

Online business applications offered by companies such as Salesforce.com (for customer relationship management) and Workday (for human resources and financial software) can not only replace expensive programs that would run on companies' premises, they can reduce the need for corporate computer servers and the related costs of maintaining them. With SaaS, companies pay subscription fees for usage rather than licensing costly enterprise software. SaaS is a growth industry: A new study by Forrester Research concludes that even in the current recession, software-as-a-service providers are seeing double-digit growth in their subscription revenue. Ariba, a Sunnyvale, Calif.-based procurement software-as-a-service company that had been left for dead after the Internet bubble burst, saw a 73% jump in its subscription revenue, from $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $32.6 million in the same period in 2008.Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:00:00 -0700x2781http://iphonecto.com/2009/03/30/workday-for-iphone-now-available/Today from Marketwire comes word that Workday, Inc has released an iPhone version of their Human Resource and Financial solutions application appropriately named Workday for iPhone.
