USER EXPERIENCE

Business Software in Disguise

Workday provides an intuitive, easy-to-use Internet user experience for every employee, from power users to casual users. Designed with a modern look and feel that utilizes concepts made popular by consumer websites, even the most novice users can find their way around with minimal training, while power users will find all of the tools they need at their fingertips. Workday gives workers what they need, rather than forcing them to conform to an old, tired, and confusing interface.

Traditional ERP enterprise applications are tied to antiquated user experience technology that is targeted for power users and requires significant investment in training. This makes it very difficult for other business users to effectively use the applications. Moreover, in these restrictively-designed applications, implementing modern UE technologies can be done only on an add-on basis. Workday's HR and Financial solutions, in contrast, are designed to satisfy the robust needs of power users, while remaining simple for the occasional user—thus minimizing training and increasing the overall usefulness of the solutions across the entire enterprise.

Taking advantage of the most modern UE technology, Workday provides an interface that evolves as an integral part of the application, not as a bolt-on like traditional ERP systems. This enables Workday to stay current and provide the best experience for casual and power users alike.

The Workday user experience empowers companies to:

• Provide minimal training for casual users. Casual users only need to understand how to follow a link to get information and push a button to make changes-just like they experience using the Internet at home. There is no need to take training courses to learn about menus or how to search in order to make the application work for them. On their "All About Me" homepage, users are just a click away from anywhere they need to go to see data or take action.
• Configure homepages. Workday's homepages (e.g., All About Me, My Team, and My Workday) present each user with a selection of small windows, also known as Worklets, with role specific data, tasks, and links. Default displays can be set up, and users can customize their views as well.

• Simplify the work for managers. Managers get quick and easy views of the data they care about on their "My Team" homepage via Worklets designed especially for managers. Embedded analytics within some Worklets and convenient links allow fast insight into critical areas and responsibilities of the manager.

• See an accurate and current organizational chart. A graphical organization chart serves as the single destination for workforce management with links to relevant actions, such as staffing, compensation administration transactions, and reporting.
• Empower power users. Power users need shortcuts throughout the system and tools to support multi-tasking. Workday supports these needs with slide out panes which let a power user check the status of a business process or view a favorite report without leaving the work in progress on their main window. Robust search capabilities are included, giving users the ability to quickly search available transactions and reports as well as business data.
