Workday Rising Europe: Welcoming New Citizens to the Cloud

Today we are hosting the firstWorkday Rising Europein London, designed specifically for our customers in Europe. This event will also benefit others wanting to learn more about Workday from our team members and customers.

It’s also my first Workday Rising! Having heard about these legendary customer events in the U.S., I know our London gathering will be a great one. The interest in Workday Rising Europe among customers and prospective customers has exceeded our expectations, and all of us at Workday are incredibly honoured by such enthusiasm.

Yet I’m not surprised. I joined Workday earlier this year as president, EMEA, attracted by the company’s culture, strategy, and market opportunity. Two months later, what I find most inspiring about Workday isour customers．我会见了许多自今年1月以来,和我m amazed by their excitement and willingness to share how they’re using and benefitting from Workday. It’s clear that the Workdayreal cloud and our power of oneplay an important part in their desire to share experiences as citizens of the cloud. I have no doubt the customer panels at Workday Rising Europe will be the highlight of the event!

我也认为我们的欧洲客户意识到他们或e helping drive significant change across their regions and industries. Companies throughout Europe are focused on business transformation, and know that’s only possible with the right processes, systems, and people. Business transformation also requires becoming more efficient while reducing costs–more simply put, doing more with less. A modern approach to enterprise technology, from the core architecture to the user experience, is required for all of those things.

You may have read in recent months about these transformations underway at European companies, with news articles onGrant Thornton,Diageo,Sanofi, and others. We’ll hear from customers at Workday Rising Europe over the next few days on transformations taking place within their organisations, and several sessions in the programme are designed to help customers network with one another and share best practices in person.

We’ll have exciting things to talk to attendees about, too, such asWorkday Big Data Analyticsand updates onWorkday Payroll for UK, Workday Payroll for France,Workday Recruiting, and our next update, Workday 22. And of course, we’ll have plenty of discussions around using WorkdayHuman Capital ManagementandFinancial Managementto improve processes, work more efficiently, and gain more insights within customer organisations.

I’m looking forward to a fantastic Workday Rising Europe, and to a year of strong growth in the European region for our company. We have a huge opportunity before us, and the best is yet to come. Day by day, we are welcoming new citizens to the cloud.
