New Workday GO Global Payroll, Partner Network, and Deployment Agent to Help Companies Cut Costs, Reduce Complexity, and Scale Faster

BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Workday Rising EMEA – Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today announced the expansion of Workday GO, the all-in-one solution that brings the full power of the Workday platform to midsize organizations around the world. With Workday GO, companies get a single, simplified way to manage their HR and finance operations—combining Workday’s industry-leading solutions with fast deployment, ease of use, and built-in scalability. Now it will be easier than ever to get started with Workday, to hire and pay workers wherever needed, and take advantage of Workday AI, all through a unified purpose-built solution.

Midsize Organizations Power 70% of Jobs, but Struggle With Outdated Systems

Midsize businesses are critical to the global economy—making up nearly 90% of companies worldwide, driving as much as 70% of employment, and contributing up to 70% of global GDP. Despite their outsized impact, these organizations often struggle to access the modern technology and resources they need to compete and grow. Outdated systems, fragmented payroll processes, and limited digital tools hold them back from operating with the speed and efficiency of larger enterprises.

Workday GO is designed to close that gap—giving midsize businesses industry-leading HR, payroll, and AI in one simple, easy-to-deploy solution.

“Midsize organizations are often forced to choose between powerful technology and practical simplicity,” said Max Wessel, senior vice president of growth, Workday. “Workday GO changes that equation. We’ve combined the power of enterprise-grade HR, payroll, and AI with one predictable price, one trusted partner ecosystem, and one of the simplest deployment experiences in the market—so every growing business can scale confidently.”

“With Workday GO, we went from kick-off to go-live in just 42 working days—a clear sign of strong teamwork and focus to deliver in time, scope, and budget,” said Denise Trentin, manager global HR projects, Master Builders Solutions. “Efficient HR processes are essential to supporting our people worldwide and driving our growth, and Workday is a key partner in helping us achieve that efficiency.”

A Reimagined Global Payroll Experience With Workday GO Global Payroll

Payroll is one of the most complex challenges for growing midsize companies—especially as they expand into new countries and navigate different compliance rules. This is why Workday is announcing Workday GO Global Payroll—an end-to-end payroll solution designed to eliminate complexity. Workday GO Global Payroll enables one seamless, consistent way to pay workers worldwide, fully integrated into the Workday experience. Through an expanded partnership with Remote, Workday is enabling Workday GO customers to simplify the act of operating anywhere.

“Workday GO Global Payroll removes one of the biggest barriers to global growth: disconnected systems for hiring and paying international teams,” said Job van der Voort, CEO and co-founder, Remote. “By combining Remote’s global infrastructure and expertise with Workday’s powerful platform, we’re giving midsize companies a seamless way to hire and pay talent anywhere. Together, we’re helping these organizations expand with confidence, without the operational complexity that has traditionally slowed them down.”

Introducing the Workday GO Partner Network to Enable Growth Without Complexity

To further simplify global payroll and deployment, Workday also announced the new Workday GO Partner Network—a unified ecosystem of global Workday payroll, benefits, and deployment partners. By bringing everything together in one seamless experience, one trusted relationship, and one centralized contract, Workday GO makes it even easier for customers to scale without complexity. Launch partners—including Benefit Harbor, BNB, HR Path, Kainos, OneSource Virtual, Remote, TopBloc, and Three Link Solutions—help customers scale globally with confidence.

New Workday Deployment Agent Drives Faster, Easier, More Affordable Deployment 

Workday is introducing a new Deployment Agent for Workday GO to help customers get up and running quickly. This AI-powered assistant—already used by Workday consultants and deployment partners—will now be directly available to Workday GO customers. Deployment Agent guides teams step by step, streamlining setup, and cutting unnecessary complexity. Deployment Agent is helping lower implementation time by up to 25%, enabling customers to go live faster and realize value sooner.

Embedded Workday Agents Help Midsize Organizations Do More With Less

Workday GO makes enterprise-grade AI accessible to midsize organizations. With embedded Workday Illuminate agents available from day one—including Payroll Agent, Workday Self-Service Agent, and Business Process Optimize Agent—customers can reduce manual work, improve process efficiency, and help teams focus on driving their business forward.

Availability

The next release of Workday GO—including the Deployment Agent, Workday GO Global Payroll, and the ability to integrate Workday GO Partner Network solutions—will be available in February 2026 in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Germany, and France, with additional markets to follow.

Acquisition will Strengthen Workday’s Platform by Connecting its Trusted HR and Finance Data to More than 3,000 Business Applications, Helping Organizations Move From Insight to Action

BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Workday Rising EMEA – Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pipedream, a leading integration platform for AI agents with more than 3,000 pre-built connectors to the most widely used business applications. Pipedream will give AI agents the ability to initiate workflows, pull data, and execute tasks wherever work happens—across Workday and critical third-party systems. 

Trusted Data + Enterprise Connectivity: The Foundation for Actionable AI

For more than 20 years, Workday has been the trusted system of record for people and money, giving it a deep understanding of how organizations work—from team structures and approval chains to financial rules, spend policies, and security permissions that help govern a company’s people and money data. This context is what sets Workday’s approach to AI apart: agents built on Workday can assist the right person, at the right time, within the right security and compliance frameworks. 

With Pipedream, that intelligence will extend to the thousands of applications where work happens every day, including Asana, Hubspot, Jira, Recurly, and Slack. Customers will be able to bring information and workflows from across their business directly into Workday—and take action in the external apps their teams rely on—giving AI agents the connectivity they need to move beyond insights and complete work.

For example, an agent could accelerate performance reviews using Workday’s deep understanding of a company’s organizational structure, pull project details from Jira or Asana, request peer feedback through Slack, and then update performance records directly in Workday. All of this happens securely and automatically, helping ensure reviews are timely, consistent, and grounded in real work.

“The ultimate promise of enterprise AI is not just insights, but action,” said Gabe Monroy, senior vice president, Platform, Products and Technology, Workday. “With Pipedream, AI agents will securely connect to major enterprise systems, enabling them to retrieve data and execute tasks. Workday will be the connected system for customers to plan, orchestrate, and execute work— marking a significant advancement for actionable AI.”

“We founded Pipedream to help people work faster and with far less complexity with AI, and we’re proud of the more than 5,000 customers and tens of thousands of users of Pipedream,” said Tod Sacerdoti, founder and CEO, Pipedream. “Joining Workday allows us to bring that simplicity to more than 11,000 organizations around the world, unlocking AI-powered workflows that make work dramatically easier.” 

An End-to-End Platform for Building AI Agents for Work

Workday is developing an end-to-end platform for building AI agents that deliver real business value—agents that can understand a company’s full business context and take action across workflows to drive meaningful results. Recent acquisitions of Sana and Flowise, along with the planned acquisition of Pipedream, strengthen this vision by bringing together the intelligence, orchestration, and connectivity required to turn insight into action.

By unifying these capabilities within Workday’s trusted environment, the company will enable customers to design custom agents, equip them with the context they need to make smart decisions, and connect them to the systems where work actually happens — so these agents can truly get work done.

Accelerating Innovation Through an Open Community

Pipedream’s active builder community will accelerate the creation of new connectors, helping customers quickly extend what AI agents can do. Together with Flowise’s open-source community, Pipedream will expand Workday’s support for open development and fuel a steady pace of innovation across the Workday platform.

Details Regarding Proposed Acquisition of Pipedream

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Workday’s fiscal year 2026, ending January 31, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions. Orrick is serving as legal advisor to Workday. Gunderson is serving as a legal advisor to Pipedream and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is serving as its financial advisor.

New Sovereign Cloud Lets EU-Based Organizations Run Workday’s AI-Powered HR and Finance Solutions With Data Kept Entirely in Region and Under Customer Control

BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Workday Rising EMEA – Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today launched the Workday EU Sovereign Cloud, a new offering that gives organizations across the European Union (EU) the ability to use Workday’s AI-powered HR and finance solutions while keeping their data secure, local, and under their control.

As new European regulations emerge, such as the EU Data Act, and geopolitical uncertainty continues, businesses and public sector organizations are putting data sovereignty at the heart of their digital transformation strategies. In fact, more than 80% of business leaders cite data sovereignty as a strategic business priority.¹ At the same time, leaders are faced with the challenge of adopting AI to drive business efficiencies, yet many struggle with how to adopt AI without risking compliance or ceding operational control.

Accelerating AI Adoption in a Complex Environment

Workday EU Sovereign Cloud provides a trusted EU-based environment that enables customers to deploy Workday’s leading AI for HR and finance with full data residency, local operations, and enterprise-grade scalability and security—all while meeting regulatory, privacy, and governance requirements. Customer data stays securely within the EU, with all operations, including AI processing, data center access, support, and maintenance, managed by EU-based personnel. Built-in encryption keeps information safe when it’s stored or shared, while independent audits and transparent oversight give leaders confidence.

Because AI is embedded in the core of the Workday platform, Workday EU Sovereign Cloud empowers organizations to deploy AI faster. This helps them realize measurable outcomes, such as reducing manual effort, improving decision-making, and unlocking new efficiencies, while helping to ensure their data never leaves the region.

“AI innovation is no longer a choice—it’s essential to staying competitive,” said Gerrit Kazmaier, president, product and technology, Workday. “Workday understands how quickly evolving data sovereignty requirements can make it difficult for organizations to keep pace. Workday EU Sovereign Cloud gives our customers the freedom to innovate and grow confidently—helping them harness the power of AI while knowing their data remains protected and compliant in an ever-changing world.”

Operating Continuously and Protecting What Matters Most

Workday EU Sovereign Cloud is built for resilience and trust. Its EU-based infrastructure spans multiple, geographically separated data centers to keep critical systems—like payroll, HR, finance, and planning—running. Hardware protections prevent unauthorized access, and end-to-end encryption safeguards information in transit, at rest, and in use. Oversight from an EU advisory board further strengthens transparency, compliance, and adherence to Europe’s highest sovereignty and security standards.

“As regulatory and business complexity continues to grow, we are committed to supporting our customers with the right tools and delivering business value,” said Angelique de Vries-Schipperijn, president, Workday EMEA. “With Workday EU Sovereign Cloud, our customers can operate confidently and grow responsibly—knowing their most critical data remains protected within EU borders, and that Workday is by their side helping them navigate change with trust and transparency.”

The Workday EU Sovereign Cloud is built on top of AWS’s secure cloud infrastructure, and benefits from the scale, reliability, and proven security of AWS. This added layer of security helps to ensure that all data and operations are managed by personnel under EU jurisdiction. Working with AWS, Workday is helping European organizations meet the highest standards of data protection and regulatory compliance without compromising on innovation or agility.

“At AWS, protecting what matters most—our customers’ data—is at the heart of everything we do,” said Stéphane Israël, managing director, AWS European Sovereign Cloud. “Workday is empowering organizations across Europe to innovate boldly while maintaining control and trust over their data, enabling them to focus on what they do best—driving business growth and delivering exceptional value to their customers.”

Workday EU Sovereign Cloud will be available to European customers in 2026, with other regionally tailored data sovereignty offerings to follow.
