Workday's cloud-based platform means that all its applications and data are hosted on servers owned and maintained by Workday, not by individual customers. This approach offers several advantages:
- Accessibility: Users can access Workday applications from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Scalability: Workday can easily scale its resources to meet the needs of growing businesses.
- Security: Workday invests heavily in security and data protection, ensuring the safety of customer data.
- Cost-effectiveness: Customers don't need to invest in expensive hardware and software infrastructure.
- Updates: Workday handles all updates and maintenance, ensuring that customers always have the latest features and functionality.
Essentially, Workday's cloud platform enables businesses to focus on their core operations while Workday takes care of the technical aspects of running their human capital management (HCM) and financial management systems.
