With David Duffield and Aneel Bhusri as
co-Chief Executive Officers, Workday, Inc.
continues to make inroads into its thrust of providing excellent cloud-based
human resource and financial management services at a more affordable cost than
their competitors. When we say competitors, the company means Oracle and SAP in
particular, the former of which staged a hostile takeover in 2005 of
PeopleSoft, the company founded and managed by Duffield with Bhusri as his
chief strategist.
The company launched a successful IPO on
October 2012 and now trades at the New York Stock Exchange with ticker name
WDAY. Its present headquarters are in Pleasanton, California with over 20
locations in the United States staffed by over 1,750 employees. Its revenues as
of October 2012 were $119.5 million although the company does not expect to
turn a profit in the near future.
But it is not just its history of hostile
takeovers followed by successful IPOs and doubled revenues that make Workday a
rising star in the highly competitive global software industry. Instead, its
excellent products and services notably online software are being patronized by
more and more companies from mid-sized businesses to multi-billion Fortune 500
corporations.
