- Workday Learning, unveiled at the annual Workday Rising conference, complements the company's mainstay cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) product, and is declared to "offer a more personalized, meaningful learning experience for organizations to evolve and encourage career development at every stage of the employee lifecycle."
- The solution, which won't be generally available until 2H16, is said to integrate with both Workday's (NASDAQ:WDAY -3.6%) HCM and financials apps to provide "complete visibility into day-to-day learning activities and overall learning effectiveness," and to "make tailored learning recommendations based on who [users] are, what they do, and their stage in the employee lifecycle."
- The solution will compete with offerings from Workday partners Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD +0.8%) and Saba Software; Workday promises to continue supporting joint customers. Cornerstone, whose cloud talent management software platform includes a learning product, fell 4.1% yesterday on Workday-related concerns. JMP has defended the company.
