The Workday Partner Industry Innovation Awards honor industry-specific solutions from our services partners built on top of Workday Prism Analytics and Workday Adaptive Planning.
At Workday, customer success is a top priority, including helping them navigate a changing world. To help customers solve their most pressing challenges, we’ve built a robust partner ecosystem. Our services, software, and payroll partners are key to the success of our customers—and of Workday.
In addition to supporting Workday deployments, our services partners also address specific business challenges across industries, roles, and geographies. Last year, to recognize that expertise and spur a little friendly competition, we announced the Workday Partner Industry Innovation Awards. This program invited our services partners to submit industry-specific solutions built on top of Workday Prism Analytics and Workday Adaptive Planning.
“The level of participation in our partner award program and the customer-focused innovation demonstrated in the submissions is amazing,” said Webb Armentrout, group vice president, global partners at Workday. “We’re grateful to our services partners for their dedication and ongoing investments to bring innovation to our joint customers.”
Our services partners address specific business challenges across industries, roles, and geographies.
