New Relationship Underscores Potential for
Workday to Transform U.S. Intelligence Community and Federal
Government Business Processes
PLEASANTON, Calif., May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), a leading
provider of solutions to help organizations manage
their people and money, today announced the Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) has selected Workday Government Cloud to
accelerate its human resources modernization efforts, marking
Workday's formal entry into the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC)
and its growing momentum in the U.S. Federal Government market.
"The intelligence community is not immune to the external forces
transforming the world of work so we applaud DIA for leading the
charge in modernizing the way it manages the evolving needs of its
workforce – a mission we are honored to support," said Carl Eschenbach, CEO, Workday. "This partnership
demonstrates our dedication to the federal market and our
significant customer momentum in this space as more and more
federal agencies shift from legacy technologies to modern solutions
like Workday."
Working in partnership with their value-added reseller
Groundswell, who has extensive federal modernization experience,
Workday will support DIA on its mission to rapidly accelerate
recruitment and onboarding efforts to create a diverse, trusted and
agile workforce. Workday will also help DIA identify, integrate,
and direct skills and expertise across its organization to solve
emerging intelligence problems where and when they are most
needed.
With Workday Government Cloud, DIA will be able to:
- Bring the Business Together: By centralizing all HR
data into a single system of record with Workday, DIA can break
down silos and foster heightened collaboration among its workforce.
This will enable it to deliver improved insights to managers and
leadership to inform decision-making and where to deploy key
expertise.
- Revolutionize the Hiring Experience: Through the
power of Workday's unified data core, DIA can automate business
processes and accelerate hiring decisions, reducing time-to-hire so
the agency can keep pace and compete for top talent.
- Put People at the Center: Workday will provide DIA
with an employee-centric talent foundation that increases employee
retention, boosts engagement, and develops future leaders today to
take on the intelligence challenges of tomorrow.
DIA's charge for modernization comes at a time when federal
agencies are facing unprecedented technological changes, rapidly
shifting demographics, and long wait times to hire, particularly
with younger prospective employees. It is estimated only 7% of the
federal workforce is under the age of 30 and nearly 30% of federal
leaders will become eligible for retirement within five years.
This, combined with complex intelligence problems emerging daily,
makes the need to replace legacy technologies all the more
pressing.
Workday's new partnership with DIA builds on an existing base of
more than 35 federal and national government customers around the
world and marks nearly two years since the company entered the U.S.
federal market, underscoring its significant momentum within the
sector.
