About Workday Accounting Software Solutions

A relatively new player in the business and financial management software application space, Workday is quickly establishing itself as a leader in on-demand enterprise solutions.

The company prides itself in being a culture passionate about people, integrity and innovation.

Started in 2005 by former PeopleSoft founder and CEO, Dave Duffield, Workday offers the market the next generation of business applications, and they do it by listening to its customers and providing them a better way to support their business.

Though ERP is more than 15 years old, the visionaries at Workday believe it is time to rethink not just the technology, but the models that are used to help organizations manage their business.

Workday Accounting Products

ERP was designed in the 1990’s to support manufacturing-focused corporations, using accounting methods developed 500 years ago. Workday solutions are built for today’s companies centered on global workforces, talent, and information to fuel their operations.

Workday’s unique financial management solution combines a comprehensive set of planning, accounting, and business intelligence capabilities to satisfy those external and internal requirements.

Workday Financials uniquely integrates the three priorities of today’s finance organizations: accounting, corporate governance, and business intelligence.

While traditional ERP focused on the data required for accounting and regulatory compliance; Workday captures all types of business events, not just the entries managed in traditional general ledger systems. The company makes it simple for accounting and all other groups and individuals to access and analyze information they need to help their organization grow and thrive.
