Smart companies scrutinize
When companies look for ways to cut costs during difficult economic conditions, they typically focus on the obvious—headcount, hiring freeze, travel, etc.—but smart companies know nothing is sacred. Everything needs to be scrutinized.

A surefire way to cut costs while raising productivity? Simple—replace your outdated and expensive on-premise applications with Workday’s on-demand solutions. On-premise applications are an endless cycle of forced upgrades, maintenance fee madness, and ineffective bolt-ons. It’s a never-ending nightmare of throwing good dollars after bad. Stop paying the unnecessary expenses required by on-premise solutions.

Out with on premise…
The status quo doesn’t cut it when you’re trying to cut costs. On-premise software requires your company to spend money—on hardware, middleware, and software—but there is much more than those initial costs. Take a look at some of the hidden costs associated with on-premise software:

• an army of consultants to implement the application
• software licenses
• a substantial IT staff to continually customize, patch, and upgrade
• QA cycles that never seem to end

In with on demand
Workday is subscription-based. You’re not required to buy any hardware, software, middleware, or databases. With Workday, all updates and upgrades are made on demand on a continuous basis, which means our customers are always on the most current version of our service.

Get what you pay for
Once you’re up and running on a traditional on-premise solution, you might think the hard work is finished. You would be mistaken. Your company will have to spend money—lots of it—on arbitrary maintenance and support fees, endless “patch” fixes, and ever-increasing support costs for the sake of “maintenance.” And don’t forget about the forced upgrades—new hardware, license fees, databases, customizations, software, etc.—which can costs millions.

Workday is on demand. There are no maintenance or support fees; all patches and fixes are automatic; and when a Workday update occurs, every customer is updated. All upgrades are included, and customers can choose when they want to roll out new functionality.

Workday is uniquely positioned to help companies of all sizes cut costs, cultivate top talent, and drive business productivity and results.

There is a better way—switch to Workday, the on-demand alternative.
