After spending 4 days at Workday Rising, tongue still a bit red from the vast amounts of Kool-Aid being digested, it’s time to report what we heard, saw, and felt at Workday’s 3rd annual user conference.
First, some quick facts about Workday, reported by CEO and Chief Customer Advocate, Dave Duffield:
• Current Number of Customers (coming into the conference): 104
• Workday Rising 2009 Attendees: 161 people from 65 customers; 75 from partners; 140 from prospects, deftly named “future customers”; 130 Workday employees
• Current Workday employee count: 390
• Dave’s goal: “have the happiest customers on the planet”
• Dave’s conference objectives. Attendees should leave feeling:
o “My company made a fabulous choice”
o “Workday is delivering exceptional service and trying to improve”
o “Workday listens to our feedback”
o “I can be part of a revolution!”
