PLEASANTON, CALIF. – March 18, 2009 – Workday, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class SaaS-based Human Resources (HR) and Financial solutions, today announced new mobile capabilities to bring HR and Financial business processes to smart phones. iPhone capabilities are available now, with BlackBerry support planned for later this year.

Workday has delivered new mobile capabilities to all customers in its latest update, extending business processes to mobile devices:

Users can now review, approve, deny and revise tasks from the Workday system and view the status of ongoing business processes. For more details visit http://www.workday.com/mobile
Users can also search their company’s worker directory for names, images and contact information. This information can be used to call or email coworkers directly and view physical addresses on Google Maps.
Workday mobile applications include password and role-based security with time-out and sign-out preferences to align with customers’ security requirements.
Workday mobile solutions are included in the latest Workday update and all customers make the transition to our newest capabilities in March 2009.

Workday's mobile solutions are built with a platform-independent core. As Workday continues to update its mobile capabilities, all devices will be able to take advantage of the same improvements, either through platform-specific client applications or mobile HTML.

iPhone is the first client application to be released.
Support for BlackBerry is planned for later in 2009.
This architecture will enable mobile devices to take advantage of Workday’s rapid delivery of enterprise functionality.
