A New Technology Curve Transforms Implementations

Workday is changing the game. Gone are the elongated implementations and endless upgrade cycles experienced by customers of traditional on-premise ERP vendors. With Workday, companies don’t need to purchase additional hardware and servers, install and tune database software, or physically install the application software. By leveraging the new software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology delivery model, Workday is transforming implementations altogether, offering solutions that are less complex, more cost-effective, and much simpler to deploy.

In order to take full advantage of the SaaS delivery model, Workday realized it had to develop its applications on new core technologies that addressed the key weaknesses of legacy on-premise ERP applications. Workday did not want to create another relational database management system (RDBMS) system. It had to be radically different; it had to be:

• Powered by a multi-tenant architecture
• Developed on an object-oriented database
• Built with a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

One methodology, two deployment options

Workday utilizes a single methodology known as the Workday Accelerated Deployment Methodology with two deployment types to meet the needs of our customers:

Workday Rapid Deployments

• Workday controls the schedule, deliverables, and budget
• Uses a controlled scope/limited integrations approach
• Requires a minimal footprint in terms of customer resources
• A “high-touch” model focused on knowledge transfer and the customer’s self sufficiency
• Rapid time to value for customers

The Workday Rapid Deployment model makes sense for companies focused on cost containment, rapid time to value, knowledge transfer, and developing a Workday expert on their team. The average deployment timeframe for Rapid Deployments is approximately 90 days, which enables projects coming in on time and on budget.

Workday Enterprise Deployments

For customers who prefer to deploy the solution on their own timeline and with a broader scope, Workday offers a more traditional, equally flexible delivery model. Customers still leverage the Workday Accelerated Deployment methodology, but they are able to adjust the schedule and scope to meet their specific business needs.

A company that chooses the more traditional Enterprise approach will likely have an experienced deployment team, a broad set of functional requirements, and the desire to achieve a rapid time to value for their deployment.

Workday will work arm-in-arm with the customer to get into production with core business functions as quickly as possible, often in as little as 120 days.
