So here it is, the inaugural edition of Workday Wrap-Up, a collection of links to recent industry news and blogs. Is my choice of shared content selective?

Workday Wrap-Up: Clouds, Clouds, Clouds, and No Bubbles BlogWorkday

Workday Webinar: Delivering SaaS Globally – Rolling Out Workday to the WorldWorkday
The highlight of day one was the breakout session hosted by Flextronics Vice President of Human Resources, Debi Hirshlag. She took the audience through a broad review of the company’s Workday deployment to date (now more than 100,000 employees worldwide) and discussed the teams learning through the process – from the composition of the project team to executive sponsorship and change management.
Flextronics’ Workday deployment stands alone as one of the most impressive accomplishments ever in enterprise SaaS – in terms of scale and also the pioneering nature of the project. For Flextronics a pilot effort in a specific region, such as China, can be larger than many companies’ entire employee population. So Debi and her team have built a rich set of best practices for deployment, while retaining a great deal of agility to meet the specific requirements or a given region’s business or cultural requirements. Those best practices are helping them accelerate their roadmap for global go-lives by about a year, and they’re already looking ahead to deploying additional functionality.

Workday Webinar: How HR Spends on TechnologyWorkday
The tough economy has hit IT budgets hard, but there’s one area where many companies continue to invest, and it might surprise people. According to a new Towers Watson survey, 83% of respondents said they are maintaining or increasing spending on HR software in 2010. That’s just one eye-opening result from Towers Watson’s recently completed survey of 456 companies, two-thirds of which have more than 5,000 employees. Although other areas of software often top the trendy list (think social networking), that survey finding and others show that the market for human resource management software is also quite dynamic.
Tom Keebler, global practice leader for HR technology at research firm Towers Watson, presented the survey during a June 23 webinar hosted by Workday and moderated by Bill Kutik, co-chair of HR Technology Conference and joined by Leighanne Levensaler, Workday’s vice president of HCM strategy.

Workday Webinar: Predict and Prepare: Is your HR solution ready for 2010? Workday
The past year was challenging for businesses of every size in every industry. According to many experts, the most difficult times are behind us economically, but 2010 promises to present many other challenges. One of the major challenges that HR leaders continue to face and will face even more in the future is the tough conversation with a CIO as organizations struggle to balance functionality and usability vs. a perceived lower total cost of ownership. This along with many other issues mean that HR will need to ensure tight organizational alignment, be able to clearly state HR goals and objectives, engage the workforce, and fill gaps in critical roles in the company.
The roundtable discussion will be followed by an open Q&A session. Last year's “Predict and Prepare Webinar” went into overtime, so bring all your questions and take advantage of this opportunity to learn from leading experts in HR.
In this Webinar, Naomi will reprise and update her wildly successful closing keynote from the 2009 HR Technology Conference, updating her advice on how HR leaders and every of us can seize the opportunity of the recovery to deliver improved business outcomes for our organizations and improved career outcomes for ourselves through effective, highly automated human resource management (HRM).
Congrats to the team for a great event at the HR Technology Conference this week. Just a quick post to share some pictures of the new Workday booth. Great to see it packed with attendees!

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
