"It is not often that the CEO of a billion-dollar company openly admits that his company deliberately created obstacles for customers. We did not entirely expect his answer. "We were a bit closed," said Eschenbacher. So Workday deliberately made it difficult to extract data. "We were nervous that they would extract it, put it in a cloud data warehouse, and then bypass us by running an application or AI on top of the data.""
"The most important announcement during Workday Rising in San Francisco on this point is the introduction of the Workday Data Cloud. It now offers zero-copy integrations with Snowflake, Databricks, and Salesforce. We have heard through the grapevine that there is more to come. It makes it possible to use and analyze Workday data in other solutions as well. In fact, exactly what they were so afraid of before."
Workday deliberately restricted customer integration capabilities for years to prevent others from extracting data and building applications on top. Customers experienced significant difficulty extracting data and integrating Workday with external systems. Workday has added numerous APIs and shifted from a closed system to an open platform to accommodate the demands of AI-driven solutions. The Workday Data Cloud introduces zero-copy integrations with Snowflake, Databricks, and Salesforce, enabling direct use and analysis of Workday data in external solutions. The company now prioritizes openness because scalable AI applications require seamless access to underlying data.
