Our Architecture
Different by design.
How do we create an experience unlike any in the industry? By using three design principles: build on the Power of One, take inspiration from the consumer internet, and continually evolve.
The Power of One
Core to our architecture is an unwavering commitment to the Power of One. With one experience, one source for data, one security model, and one community, we’re able to innovate faster while meeting the highest security standards and delivering an unmatched customer experience.
Applications that work the way you do.
We believe that enterprise software shouldn’t look or feel any different than the applications we use every day.
That’s why we built our system to work conversationally and in your natural workspaces, so you can work in a way that’s familiar to you. It’s also why we weave intelligent, context-rich engagements into our applications, and design them to be elastic and scalable.
Designed to evolve with you.
We built Workday to be ready for change, so you can adopt new technology without rewriting code or buying a new version—and we can deliver enhancements anytime, not just during a major update.
And by opening up Workday with the Workday Cloud Platform, we’re making it easier than ever for you to extend the way Workday works for you.
