What strikes me is that a cloud-native provider like Workday approaches the topic of transformation much more calmly and confidently than ERP world market leader SAP. Based on a mature cloud-only approach, they offer users a well thought-out evolution. Naturally agile and resilient, not disruptive and hectic. SAP conjures new concepts out of the cylinder every six months, which irritates existing customers: There is a lack of orientation!...

A key criterion when deciding for or against a software provider is whether the introduction and deployment can be carried out on time, within the agreed budget and with little risk. These requirements are a particular focus for medium-sized companies.

Workday is fundamentally different from other major cloud platforms. When we designed Workday's original architecture, we considered agility as a fundamental requirement.
