“My IT team spends too much time and money
on implementation, maintenance, upgrades,
and support of a system that′s 15 years old.”
On-premise ERP applications have outlived their usefulness. You can′t run the business of today and tomorrow on a 15-year-old platform that′s inflexible and costs a fortune in maintenance, upgrades, bolt-ons, and IT support. The world is evolving and so is the technology to support it.
Workday SaaS solutions can help you dramatically reduce the cost of your IT infrastructure while providing innovation at a pace equivalent to that of your business.

“My on-premise system is rigid and fragile, and it′s not helping the business.”
You and your team should not be limited by your technology. That′s why Workday is designed to be configurable and reconfigurable at any time.
With Workday, the following tasks are accomplished in a minimum number of steps:
- Reorganizing reporting hierarchies without coding or IT intervention.
- Configuring business processes not only for your company but by organization within your company.
- Track spend and revenue by tagging entries instead of asking IT for another chart field.
And all of these tasks should be easily accomplished without breaking the upgrade.

Configurability Over Customization
“I can′t predict lifecycle costs of on-premise ERP because of unforeseen patches, upgrades,
and implementations. And where is the innovation?”
Planning an IT budget is almost impossible with traditional on-premise applications. You never know when your systems will need a patch, upgrade, or a team of third-party consultants. Workday has a predictable, subscription-based delivery model, which means our customers are always on the most current version. SaaS solutions can save companies money, implement faster, and reduce complexity by:
- Reducing costs by eliminating the need to support your own hardware in-house.
- Regularly applying upgrades as part of the service fee, without upgrade and maintenance costs every few years.
- Focusing on configuration—not customization—of the software.
- Using a subscription-based service as an incentive to maintain a productive working relationship.
