Today, critical business functions often operate independently, creating outdated or incomplete insights that delay decision-making and expose organizations to risks such as inaccurate targets and slow responses. With the new connected solution, companies can see the real-time financial and workforce implications of supply chain events.
Management highlighted that this partnership offers a unified view of people, finance and supply chain data, giving customers the ability to respond swiftly and drive profitable growth.
Workday is accelerating its growth through a series of strategic alliances that are expanding its global footprint and strengthening its product ecosystem. In August 2025, Workday announced a partnership with DailyPay for On-Demand Pay in the United States and Canada. This collaboration enables employers to offer frontline and hourly workers real-time access to their earned wages through DailyPay’s platform, integrated with Workday Human Capital Management and Payroll since 2023. The solution empowers employees to access their pay as they earn it, reducing financial stress and improving job satisfaction.
Partnership expansion with Alight to deliver an integrated payroll experience to customers across several parts of Europe will expand its global footprint. The company’s collaboration with the AWS marketplace, initiated in July 2024, continues to drive multiple customer wins.
In June 2024, the partnership with SkillStorm was established to expedite the growth of the Workday ecosystem by providing certified Workday technical consultants tailored to unique client requirements. Management is putting a strong focus on integrating advanced AI and ML capabilities. The ongoing AI-powered product development emphasizes natural language generation, content search, summarization, content augmentation and document understanding.
