Data Cloud
Meet the open, secure, headless data foundation for agents. Workday Data Cloud opens your people and money data to AI agents, analysts, and the platforms you already use, with live, governed data and security on every action. No extracting or duplicating data, or rebuilding security.
Stop extracting. Start executing.
Access data anywhere.
Reach live and historical Workday data from your lakehouses, BI tools, and agents through open standards, with no ETL pipelines or duplicate copies.
Ground AI in context.
Ensure agents and analysts deliver consistent, deterministic answers—not guesses—using pre-curated business objects and native Workday business logic.
Secure every action.
Apply the security you already set in Workday to every query and agent action, and tie every autonomous action back to a real, accountable person.
Execute business logic headlessly.
Expose routing, approvals, and business rules through governed tools so any agent can safely execute workflows in real time.
