My Top Events for August
Turning Financial Complexity into Strategic Execution
Wednesday, August 19 at 12pm CT
In this executive briefing, we’ll discuss Workday’s shift from a passive system of record to an AI-driven platform of execution, driving quantifiable ROI across finance capabilities:
Accelerated Strategic Insights: Financial Analysis and Planning Agents replace heavy spreadsheet modeling with real-time, conversational intelligence across multi-domain datasets.
Operational Productivity: Revenue and Supplier Contract Agents automate contract ingestion and data entry directly into Workday with human-in-the-loop validation, eliminating manual back-office bottlenecks.
Continuous Risk & Audit Controls: The Financial Test Suite moves the organization from periodic sampling to continuous 100% transaction monitoring, identifying anomalies and duplicate payments well before period close.
Enterprise Integration & Governance: The integrated Sana platform unifies cross-app workflows to eliminate context-switching, while the Agent System of Record ensures all AI agents strictly inherit existing enterprise security, role permissions, and compliance guardrails.
