/PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced Workday, a
leading provider of enterprise cloud applications for finance and
human resources, has adopted the IBM Cloud as part of a multi-year
strategic partnership. IBM Cloud will become the foundation for
Workday's development and testing environment providing Workday
with greater efficiency, flexibility, and global scale.
As IBM Cloud becomes the primary platform for Workday's
development and testing, Workday will continue accelerating the
pace of innovation for its applications and services. IBM Cloud
will also provide important capacity expansion in support of
Workday's growing development and testing requirements.
"IBM and Workday are both delivering transformative applications
and services in the cloud," said Aneel
Bhusri, Co-Founder and CEO, Workday. "Workday will use IBM
Cloud to continue accelerating Workday's internal development and
testing efforts to support our ongoing global expansion."
"Leading enterprises like Workday continue to turn to IBM Cloud
for its global reach, flexibility, and resiliency," said
Robert LeBlanc, Senior Vice
President, IBM Cloud. "Through a preferred cloud partnership with
IBM, Workday can accelerate its innovation efforts to better serve
clients around the world."
IBM's global cloud data center presence includes nearly 50
highly scalable and security-rich IBM Cloud datacenters in 17
countries on six continents. The company delivers enterprise cloud
services ranging from analytics and Watson to Blockchain and Internet of Things to
provide clients with more choice and flexibility in their digital
transformation.
Workday intends to expand the use of IBM Cloud over time beyond
development and testing. Today's announcement builds on the IBM and
Workday partnership, which includes IBM's global Workday Consulting
Services, the 2015 acquisition of Meteorix–a leading Workday
services partner–and IBM's own use of Workday Human Capital
Management for its global workforce.
