💰 How Workday Inc. Makes Money

Subscription revenue from cloud HCM and financial management software. Customers pay annually based on employee count. Implementation services provide additional revenue. The land-and-expand model starts with HR (easier to sell) then cross-sells financial planning, analytics, and procurement modules.

📜 Key Milestones

Founded in 2005 by Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusri — both former PeopleSoft executives who started Workday after Oracle's hostile takeover of PeopleSoft. The company went public in 2012 and has grown to over $7 billion in annual revenue. The founding story is essentially revenge against Larry Ellison, executed brilliantly.

💡 Did You Know?

Workday's customer retention rate exceeds 95% — once a company migrates HR and finance to Workday, they almost never leave.

📝 Analyst Take

Workday owns enterprise HR in the cloud. The switching costs are enormous (migrating HR systems is a multi-year nightmare), creating a durable moat. Growth is decelerating as the Fortune 500 penetration matures, but the financial management cross-sell and international expansion provide runway. Valuation assumes continued execution.
