Read MoreHide Full Article
Workday (WDAY - Free Report) announced that Salesforce has selected Workday Enterprise Management Cloud to expand its business reach.
Salesforce is a firm that specializes in customer relationship management and serves hundreds of thousands of customers worldwide. It plans to tap the growing demand for cloud technology in the finance and human resource (HR) domains.
Organizations are shifting to cloud-based applications, which provide greater insights, flexibility and employee experiences.
Per a report from Grand View Research, the global finance cloud market size is anticipated to reach $101.71 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 20.3% from 2022 to 2030. The industry is expected to benefit as it provides a strategic platform to maintain effective control over operations and deploy cost-effective strategies, added the report.
Salesforce will combine Workday’s financial management, adaptive planning, accounting center and prism analytics, along with existing usage of Workday’s human capital management, time tracking, recruiting and payroll for the United States and Canada into a single platform to make informed decisions regarding HR and finance.
It will leverage the abovementioned platforms to streamline its procurement process and alter plans per dynamic market conditions.
Workday reported relatively healthy second-quarter fiscal 2023 results (ended Jul 31, 2022), with the bottom line and top line beating the consensus estimate.

Subscription revenues for the fiscal year are expected to be in the band of $5,537-$5,557 million, indicating growth of 22% year over year. Professional services revenues for the year are expected to be around $650 million.
However, the company’s performance is affected by stiff competition, especially in the human capital market, financial management software market and increasing costs.
