UPDATE - Workday Appoints President of Education and Government Business - Seite 2

Workday continues to make progress on the development of Workday Student, the only end-to-end student application built this century to meet the modern-day needs of higher education institutions. In a recent report, Brian Schwartz and Koji Ikeda from Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. write: "We believe the higher ed tech vertical is in the early innings of a decade-or-longer transition from stale and technologically limiting on-premise applications to the cloud.[1]" Schwartz goes on to note that the addition of Workday Student strengthens Workday's position to capture a significant portion of this market.[2]
