Workday unveils plans to offer customers option
to run suite of applications on the AWS Cloud beginning in 2017
Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced that Workday (NYSE: WDAY), a leader
in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources
has selected AWS as its preferred public cloud infrastructure
provider for customer production workloads. Through this
partnership, Workday is taking another step in its long-term public
cloud strategy by offering customers the option to run its full
suite of applications —including Workday Financial Management and
Workday Human Capital Management — for the first time in the public
cloud.
With this partnership, Workday customers will have the choice to
satisfy complex data sovereignty requirements by running their
Workday applications on the AWS Cloud, or they can continue
leveraging Workday data centers. Workday intends to first make this
option available to customers in Canada in calendar year 2017, and
expects to expand the scope to other geographies over time in
consultation with its customers.
“With AWS – the proven leader in cloud infrastructure – as
Workday’s preferred public cloud provider for production workloads,
our customers will have a choice to deploy and drive business value
with Workday’s suite of applications,” said Aneel Bhusri,
co-founder and CEO, Workday. “The ability to run our applications
on the AWS Cloud underscores our commitment to deliver the
security, reliability, and continuous innovation our customers
expect when it comes to infrastructure, while continually expanding
the ways they can optimize workforce productivity and business
performance.”
“The world’s most innovative and successful companies rely on
AWS for secure, robust global infrastructure and the broadest set
of cloud services,” said Andy Jassy, CEO, AWS. “We are excited to
help support Workday’s rapid pace of innovation by giving their
customers the option to run their Workday applications on AWS.”
