Workday private cloud migration to AWS

Workday simplifies your operations, standardizes your processes, and transitions your HR and finance data from legacy environments to the cloud. Amazon Web Services (AWS) equips your business and technology teams with solutions and services to more effectively integrate and automate functions such as spend management, finance, human capital management, analytics, and payroll.

Workday requires existing customers to move from its private cloud to AWS, with full migration expected by 2030. This shift is not just a technical change; it’s a strategic opportunity. The organizations that start planning now are the ones capturing meaningful financial and operational upside and unlocking additional value on both platforms, leveraging the power of AI, advanced analytics, and innovative industry solutions.

Why this move to AWS matters to customers:

• Retire AWS committed spend: Purchase Workday through AWS Marketplace to draw down Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) commitments using Workday annual contract value (ACV), improving discount positions and freeing trapped value.

• Simplify procurement and billing: Consolidate Workday with existing AWS workloads to reduce administrative overhead.

• Strengthen your cloud strategy: Run Workday on industry-leading AWS infrastructure aligned with your enterprise architecture.

• Unlock enhanced AWS and Workday collaboration: Access marketplace solutions, data and integration advantages, and other program benefits.

• Accelerate AI-powered innovation: With Workday Data Cloud and AWS, customers can connect to their existing analytics platforms and operational systems. Customers can get secure, real-time access to insights – turning workforce and financial information into action faster than ever.

PwC helps clients navigate the migration lifecycle with a transformation mindset. Organizations can leverage Workday on AWS as a unified cloud platform to build more connected, agile businesses across finance, planning, and human capital management. Driven by the need for real-time data, enhanced visibility, and streamlined operations, organizations are moving from legacy, siloed systems to integrated, cloud-based platforms. By leveraging advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and innovative solutions, companies are transforming their finance and HR functions, improving security and compliance, and achieving sustainable growth.
