Overview

Workday started with human capital management (HCM): core HR, recruiting, talent, learning and payroll. It added financials later on the same data model, so headcount and cost plans stay in step.

It is a common choice for large employers replacing on-premises HR systems such as SAP HCM or Oracle PeopleSoft. Only certified partners can implement it.
