Workday

Workday was founded in 2005 by Aneel Bhusri and Dave Duffield, following Duffield's departure from PeopleSoft after its hostile acquisition by Oracle. The company is headquartered in Pleasanton, California, and has been publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker WDAY since its IPO in 2012.

Workday provides a cloud-native SaaS platform for human capital management (HCM) and financial management, serving mid-market to Fortune 500 enterprises.

The primary offering is Workday HCM, which enables organizations to manage recruitment, payroll, performance management, and employee benefits in a single cloud-based system. Alongside it, Workday Financial Management competes directly with Oracle ERP and SAP in enterprise financial planning and accounting. The company sells through enterprise sales teams and implementation partners, on annual enterprise contract terms.

Workday HCM is the flagship product covering the full employee lifecycle. Workday Financial Management addresses enterprise accounting and financial planning. Workday Adaptive Planning, acquired in 2018, adds enterprise budgeting and forecasting capabilities. In recent years the company has invested substantially in embedding AI capabilities across its existing product lines.

Workday's direct competitors include SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle HCM Cloud in the human capital management space, and Oracle ERP and SAP S/4HANA in the financial management space. Workday positions itself as a cloud-native alternative to the legacy on-premise systems of these two enterprise software incumbents.

I do not have sufficiently verified information about a dedicated Workday operational presence in Israel to report specific details here.
