Application development architectures are changing rapidly to leverage the Internet, new technologies and innovative approaches in software engineering. These changes are increasing developer productivity, speeding application deployment and enabling greater application interoperability.

Established ERP vendors are blocked from fully realising the benefits of the new approach because it calls for replacing the on-premise delivery model, the code-based, heavy relational frameworks and static data model-based solutions they’ve been selling for the past 20 years.
Innovation in ERP will be revolutionary not evolutionary. Workday sees an opportunity to deliver revolutionary improvements at all levels of application development. Workday is capturing this opportunity by embracing innovation from the ground up.
