Workday
Workday needed to communicate its long-term evolution and credibility as it moved from early cloud HR and finance software into an era increasingly shaped by AI. The company had to show clear proof points of scale and momentum across years of growth. It also needed to frame how its product and AI milestones connected to broader market expectations and customer needs.
Workday presented a chronological “Our Journey” narrative organized into milestones across company history, AI innovation, product releases, and acquisitions. It highlighted foundational events like its 2005 founding and subsequent platform expansion into HR and finance, then later AI initiatives and agentic AI positioning. The page also outlined major acquisitions intended to expand capabilities in analytics, planning, employee voice, talent acquisition, and contract management.
Workday reported reaching notable scale and recognition milestones over time. It surpassed 10,000 customers worldwide in 2023. It also debuted on the Fortune 500 and S&P 500 in 2024. In 2025, it was recognized by Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for the fifth consecutive year.

Business Case
Increased Workday Feature Adoption 25% and Cut Time to Close 27%
UPP
Organizations struggled to realize full value from their Workday investment while keeping teams productive and confident in using new products, features, and AI capabilities. Lean teams needed faster ways to solve issues and build internal expertise. They also faced ongoing pressure to optimize HR and finance processes, reduce risk, and support growth.
Workday Success Plans provided structured expertise, support, and education across multiple plan options (Standard, Accelerate Essentials, Accelerate, and Accelerate Plus). Customers used on-demand learning, webinars, and training along with guidance from Workday experts on configuration, adoption, and deployment. The plans also offered tailored advice such as change management guidance, tenant assessments, and technical account management depending on tier.
Compared with customers not on a Success Plan, customers adopted more Workday features and improved operational outcomes. They closed faster and strengthened internal controls. They also improved span of control, indicating more effective management capacity and productivity gains.
Key Results
25% more Workday features adopted (vs. customers not on a Workday Success Plan)
27% faster time to close (vs. customers not on a Workday Success Plan)
20% better internal controls (vs. customers not on a Workday Success Plan)
