Workday is advancing its suite with a focus on platform extension, conversational UX, and AI, though its AI offerings are still in early stages. The company has a solid public cloud presence with over 900 customers and hosted a successful user conference in Las Vegas with over 30,000 attendees. Key initiatives include the launch of Illuminate for AI, enhancing the Workday Extend platform, revitalizing payroll R&D, and transitioning to a conversational UX.

1. Workday keeps Rising, across HCM,
Platform, UX and AI – but is it enough?
My POV: Workday keeps
moving its suite forward –
but platform (Extend), UX
(conversational) and AI
shine. AI offerings are in
early stage and look for
momentum. Very good
public cloud momentum
with 900+ customers.
Workday held its yearly user conference, Workday Rising in Las Vegas
it was very well attended (30k+). Well organized, happy customers.
