"Workday is a perfect fit for us. It will help position our HR department as the strategic business entity it is by putting employee and management information at their fingertips. We firmly believe in Workday's vision and we are excited to be one of the first 50 customers -- actively participating in its evolution."

"In the first half of 2008, the Workday team has accomplished many amazing milestones: completing the strategic acquisition of Cape Clear, signing one of the largest customers in on-demand history and delivering major product updates such as Workday Payroll.
