Workday CTO: 3 Critical Factors For Delivering Business Continuity at Scale

The ability to handle both rapid growth and unexpected disruptions as seamlessly as possible is vital to every business.

That's why, as an enterprise management cloud provider, delivering business continuity at scale has always been a major priority for Workday. We provide tools companies need to react to change and innovate quickly.

At Conversations for a Changing World, a Workday digital event, Dave Sohigian, our global CTO, shared how we continue to live up to our scalability commitments-even as we continue to experience major growth. The number of our customers' enterprise transactions-from running payroll to committing to a benefit plan-inside the Workday Enterprise Management Cloud increased by 34% in 2021 to 265 billion transactions.

For our customers, the ability to handle growth without major disruptions comes down to three key factors, starting with being agile, Sohigian said.

Agility allows companies to adapt and change over time to create what's needed in the future, he said. One way Workday supports our customers' agility is via the more than 600 prebuilt templates we provide for integrations via the Workday Integration Cloud. Our customers, meanwhile, have created more than 210,000 integrations on their own or with the help of consultants.
