Our Approach to Agentic AI
Say hello to role-based agents.
Task-based agents help automate single, repetitive tasks. Role-based agents? That’s where even more transformation happens. These agents understand your goals, create plans to achieve them, and work together to get the job done.
Centralized Agent Management
All your agents, all together.
Workday Agent System of Record, powered by Workday Illuminate™, is the one-stop shop for managing, building, deploying, orchestrating, and measuring all your agents. Full visibility. Full stop.
Centralize operations.
Register, monitor, manage, and govern all your agents in one place, whether they’re from Workday or somewhere else.
Streamline onboarding.
Start seeing value right away and quickly onboard new agents with defined roles, skills, and secure access to relevant data.
Keep costs under control.
Budget, forecast, and optimize the ROI of agents, so you can ensure efficiency and make the most of every resource.
Deploy with confidence.
We give you everything you need for security and compliance: automated configuration, access control, and policy enforcement to mitigate risk.
Get total visibility.
Stay on top of agent activity, enforce policies, and track costs in real time. So you can make sure everything is running just the way you want.
Orchestrate flawlessly.
Connect Workday and third-party agents to work together toward common goals, such as connecting data sources and sharing tools for complex reasoning.
“Workday Agent System of Record will provide the reassurance organizations need to fully embrace agents as an extension of their teams, with the necessary tools and guardrails in place to manage them securely and effectively.”
—Juan Perez, EVP and CIO, Salesforce
