In 2024, Workday launched an Enterprise Data and Analytics (ED&A) team with a mission to transform and optimize the way Workday creates and shares trusted data to drive actionable insights and data-led innovation across the enterprise. The team has introduced a new, cloud-based technical stack, a data product methodology anchored in the principles of Data Ops, an Active Data Governance methodology to manage the quality and discovery of data, and a series of modern analytics tools that facilitate discovery, analysis, visualization, machine learning, and AI.
