So here it is, the inaugural edition of Workday Wrap-Up, a collection of links to recent industry news and blogs. Is my choice of shared content selective? Of course—this is the news that interests us most at Workday, and if you're reading this blog right now, chances are it'll interest you, too. (That said, it's important to note that opinions and views represented in these articles do not necessarily represent the opinions and views of Workday.)

1. Introducing Workday Wrap-Up
February 18, 2011 by Mary Hayes Weier
Every Friday, I put together a collection of links to some of the more interesting
news stories and blogs about Workday, SaaS and cloud computing, mobility, inline
analytics, HR software, the ERP market, and more. I then distribute this collection in
an email to a group of people here at Workday.
And they love it. In fact, a common initial response the first time I meet a colleague
goes something like this: "Oh, you send out that email on Fridays with all the links to stories—thank you!" As
the popularity of the email grew, we asked, why not share a version of our news wrap-up with the public?
So here it is, the inaugural edition of Workday Wrap-Up, a collection of links to recent industry news and

I hope you find Workday Wrap-Up valuable, and as a way to stay connected with the analysts, journalists, and
thought leaders who consistently and expertly assess the state of our industry. Feel free to send content
suggestions and your thoughts on this feature my way to mary.hayes@workday.com.
