and respond to alerts and approval needs, such as time off requests and
expense reimbursements.
o Real Time Business Intelligence. Allows users to stay connected to the
business anytime, anywhere with real time drillable reports and analytics to
support activities such as Workforce Planning, Compensation Management,
Talent Management and Financial Management.

submit receipts on the go using the iPhone camera.
Other key mobile enhancements for Workday for iPad and Workday for iPhone users
include:
o Multi-Tasking Support. Users now multi-task on their mobile devices,
eliminating the burden of signing in each time they return to their Workday mobile
app.

mobile applications. This allows users to securely and conveniently sign in to
Workday’s mobile applications using the same authentication method and
credentials they use for Workday on their desktop and other enterprise systems.
Comments on the News
“The iPad is a real game changer. Since Workday is delivered entirely in the cloud, workers don’t
need to access the app from a browser -- we can bring the solution to the user, wherever they are
and on whatever device they use,” said Aneel Bhusri, Workday co-founder and CEO. “As iPads
continue to be adopted by c-level executives, we expect they will become the primary
consumption device for Workday solutions. Therefore, we’re increasingly building features and
functionality for mobile solutions first and the browser second. We are excited for the opportunity
to deliver continued innovation to our customers in the area of enterprise mobility.”
