What's New
-- Chiquita Brands International, a Fortune 500 company with
more than 25,000 employees worldwide and with 2006 revenues of
approximately $4.5 billion, conducted an extensive review of human
resources solutions from leading providers and selected Workday
based on:
* Workday's commitment to focus on the customer;
* The agility to meet the needs of Chiquita's unique global
structure;
* The strategic potential of Workday's next-generation 'Web 2.0'
interface and usability;
* The lower cost and long-term simplicity of on-demand
architecture; and
* The risk and unpredictable costs inherent with on-premise
software projects.
-- Workday is currently working with Chiquita to activate and
implement Workday Human Capital Management across the
organization.
-- Workday now has more than 25 customers, including
organizations of fewer than 1000 employees and enterprises with
25,000 users or more, replacing both manual systems and on-premise
ERP deployments.
"Partnering with Workday complements Chiquita's corporate
strategy to build a high-performance organization by providing our
human resources organization access to the management solutions
that will enable us to focus more on our core competencies and
deliver more value to the company," said Kevin Holland, senior vice
president and chief people officer for Chiquita Brands
International. "We expect this agreement will help us drive cost
savings, while allowing us to concentrate on delivering innovative,
higher-margin products to our customers and consumers."
"We're off-the-charts excited to welcome Chiquita Brands, one of
the world's most recognizable companies, as a Workday customer,"
said Dave Duffield, Workday CEO and chief customer advocate.
"Workday now has more than 25 customers, we've expanded our suite
beyond Human Capital Management to include Financials, and we're
seeing substantial interest from large enterprises. As we pass the
first anniversary of our launch, across the board we're extremely
happy with Workday's growth and achievements in 2007."
"Some people have been proclaiming that SaaS is only for small
companies, but we're seeing exactly the opposite," Duffield
continued. "Large, forward-thinking organizations see the cost
benefits and superb customer experience available with on-demand
solutions. We're proud to have this fabulous group of new customers
joining Workday."
