COMPANY NEWS: CRM Leader Expands Use of Workday to Support Workforce of More than 78,000 Global Employees

Workday a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today announced that Salesforce, the global CRM leader with more than 78,000 employees and hundreds of thousands of global customers, has expanded its use of Workday to support continued global growth.

• An intelligent data core combining finance and HR insights to help inform decision-making.

• Streamlining the procurement process with a real-time view of spend and suppliers.
• The analytical foundation to ingest and transform high volumes of operational activity into journal entries.
• Continued insights into its workforce, including talent needs and management.
