SYDNEY—July 31, 2024— Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), a leading provider of solutions to help organisations manage their people and money, has announced its acceptance to the Australian Federal Government's Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) Software Marketplace, specifically within the newly established Category 3 for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Products and Service Solutions.
Workday’s acceptance to the Software Marketplace is part of the DTA's initiative to enhance the modernisation of ERP systems across non-corporate Commonwealth entities. The panel ensures that governmental bodies have greater autonomy and choice in updating their ERP systems now and in the future.
Workday's suite of applications, including Workday Financial Management, Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), and Workday Adaptive Planning, is now available via the Software Marketplace to all Australian federal, state, and territory government agencies. This inclusion provides a robust solution for agencies seeking to modernise and replace outdated legacy technology and disparate systems with a single, agile platform that can automate manual processes, scale with agency needs, and adapt continuously in a rapidly changing landscape.
"We congratulate the Government on its new approach, which provides greater autonomy and choice to modernise ERP solutions, using technology and vendors that best meet entity needs and budget," said Paul Leahy, Regional Director, Public Sector, Workday Australia and New Zealand. "This will be truly transformative for government operations. By replacing outdated legacy systems, the APS can help streamline processes, boost productivity, and attract top talent. Our acceptance to the DTA's Software Marketplace ERP Category ensures the Australian Government has access to innovative cloud applications for finance, human resources, and planning, enabling them to drive IT modernisation that best meets their needs.”
Workday has also renewed its Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment, which means Australian public service organisations can continue to store workloads up to PROTECTED—including OFFICIAL—on Workday HCM, Financial Management, Analytics, Talent Management, Workforce Management, and Workday Adaptive Planning, hosted in AWS Australia.
Many public sector agencies around the world have chosen Workday, including Public Trust in New Zealand, the Crown Commercial Service—the United Kingdom's largest public procurement organisation, the Cabinet Office, Department for Education, Innovate UK, Student Loans Company and Channel 4. In the US, customers include the City of Los Angeles (U.S.) and multiple US government agencies via Groundswell.
