U.I. Unplugged >>

Workday Re-invents the User Experience in Enterprise Applications.

In this white paper we discuss:

  • Quintessentially Workday: Our user interface emphasizes graphical elements over text as much as possible, to allow the necessary information to speak clearly to the user.
  • Navigable: Consistent with our view of dividing users into three distinct communities, Workday offers three different ways to navigate our applications.
  • Natural: Our navigation philosophy is to stay natural – to have the system work the way you do without your even knowing it.
  • Personal: Different people use the system in different ways, requiring the UI’s design elements to be arranged, and re-arranged, accordingly.
  • Durable: Workday users can interact either casually or continually with our applications, experiencing the same level of visual comfort.
