From the ashes of defeat, the quest to build enterprise software that people actually liked was launched. Workday’s founders crafted a design philosophy that, like most things in life worth doing, is simple to explain but takes patience, care, and ongoing effort to do right.

At a breakfast meeting between two technology veterans and friends, the quest to build enterprise software that people actually liked was launched. Workday founders crafted a design philosophy that, like most things in life worth doing, is simple to explain but takes patience, care, and ongoing effort to do right. The concept was to deliver a simple, intuitive experience underpinned with a sophisticated architecture that could be continuously modern. Fast-forward to today and we see a rapidly changing world of work and technology. Yet Workday continues to deliver an intuitive experience on an architecture that is continuously current. Let’s explore how this is possible.
Introduction to the Workday Tech Strategy
Grab your coffee—we’re going on a tour of our development process and architecture. Our approach helps make Workday products secure and ready to meet compliance requirements— there are no backdoors when a single security model continuously applies to all data.
