#CXOTALK: Workday CEO explains his top priorities

#CXOTALK: Workday CEO explains his top priorities

By Michael Krigsman on April 13, 2016

Workday is one of the few pure software-as-a-service vendors operating at large enterprise scale. The company’s products fall into two broad categories: human capital management and financials. Both HCM and financials are backbone applications used by every large organization, and Workday’s customers are among the biggest companies in the world. During a conversation with Workday’s […]

Future of SAP and SuccessFactors Consulting 2016 – SAP HCM (Part 1)

By Jarret Pazahanick on February 19, 2016

Building the Cult of You

Building the Cult of You

By Jason M. Lemkin on April 14, 2015

You may have noticed LinkedIn recently made its largest acquisition so far, of Lynda.com for $1.5 billion.  If you haven’t heard of Lynda.com, it’s a SaaS / subscription service for training and e-learning.  One thing to note is who its co-founder is:  Lynda Weinman.  The Wall Street Journal called her “the mother of the Internet.” […]

Is 5x the New 2x in SaaS?

Is 5x the New 2x in SaaS?

By Jason M. Lemkin on March 3, 2014

Back in 2012, when the SaaStr audience was about 1/30th of what it is today, I wrote a post that a lot of folks didn’t like:  ”Workday is Growing 90% this Year.  At $250m in ARR.  So Wake Up:  You Probably Need to Do A Lot, Lot Better.“ In fact, it was the first post […]

Workday: Linking technology design and user experience

Workday: Linking technology design and user experience

By Michael Krigsman on February 3, 2014

Workday is among the most high-profile examples of a new breed of enterprise software, based completely in the cloud. Started by Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusri, who led PeopleSoft prior to the acquisition by Oracle, Workday is now a public company. As part of the CxOTalk series of conversations with innovators, we spoke with Workday’s Chief Technology Officer, Stan […]

Can an 8-Person StartUp Sell to a CIO? Yes — If You Understand The Social Contract.

By Jason M. Lemkin on October 30, 2013

Recently Erick Schonfeld was kind enough to invite me to the DEMO conference to both serve as an Enterprise panel judge, and also to join a panel with 3 esteemed CIOs on how to Sell to Enterprise CIOs.  I was the Start-Up Guy on the Panel. You can see the whole session below, with the […]

The Rise of the Cloud Stack

The Rise of the Cloud Stack

By Aaron Levie on June 27, 2013

Something changed this week in the enterprise software world. In an industry known for ruthless competition, a number of players – Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce and NetSuite – introduced partnerships that portend a very different future. In very un-Larry Ellison-like fashion, something akin to harmony was proposed, “when customers choose cloud applications, they expect rapid low-cost […]

Hyperaggresiveness … Can You Do It?

Hyperaggresiveness … Can You Do It?

By Jason M. Lemkin on March 18, 2013

Recently I’ve met with several of my friends who are moving on, or have moved on, to their next SaaS company after some real success in their first one.  SaaS 3.0 entrepreneurs, I guess. They all have some measure of initial success in their next venture.  To me, given their backgrounds, and their ability to […]

You Really Don’t Know if Your Market is Too Small For Quite a While

You Really Don’t Know if Your Market is Too Small For Quite a While

By Jason M. Lemkin on February 4, 2013

One of the things that causes a lot of anxiety in SaaS is market size.  If you’re creating the latest Pinning app, or Social Network, the odds are surely against you.  But in consumer internet, often you know if you hit it, however low the odds are, at least the market is huge (or at […]

Conference Report: Workday Rising

Conference Report: Workday Rising

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 12, 2012

Last week I attended the analyst event organized along with Workday Rising 2012 conference. Workday Rising is Workday’s (previous CloudAve coverage)(Disclosure: Workday is the sponsor of CloudAve and this is my own personal opinion but they paid for my travel and stay) user conference and it was their attempt to interact closely with their customers […]

SAP and SuccessFactors - Proven Integration is Hype

SAP and SuccessFactors – Proven Integration is Hype

By Jarret Pazahanick on November 9, 2012

Early last month I wrote The Real Truth about SAP and SuccessFactors Integration to try to clear up some of the confusion in the marketplace. To my surprise I had several SAP customers reach out telling me they were very surprised at my article as it contradicted the message they were getting directly from SAP.  These customers […]

Workday Launches Version 18 – Quick Analysis

By Ben Kepes on November 5, 2012

At the Workday Rising event being held in Las Vegas this week, Workday announced the latest version of its product, on top of which they held an analyst/influcner day that I was following remotely. I’ve got a few thoughts about the analyst day but first a recap of the news.

Workday is Growing 90% this Year. At $250m in ARR. So Wake Up: You Probably Need to Do A Lot, Lot Better.

By Jason M. Lemkin on October 11, 2012

The thing is, what you really have to ask yourself, if you are growing less than 100-150% YoY — all the way to $100m in ARR — is the market just too small? Or if not — am I just not well enough positioned in the market?

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

By Zoli Erdos on October 3, 2012

Recently I’ve attended two conferences two weeks apart in San Francisco, and the difference in style is shocking.  One did not even feel like a conference, rather a Festival – Woodstock, Mardi Gras, SXSW – your pick:-)  The other a decidedly more “closed” traditional corporate conference, so much so, that fellow commentators actually compared it […]

The Workday IPO and ‘F You Money

The Workday IPO and ‘F You Money

By Jason M. Lemkin on October 1, 2012

The other day, a VC asked me about a founder he was thinking of investing in.  He asked me if this founder had, quote, ‘F You Money.  {I learned how this was spelled when a Businessweek article this week used the term, btw}. I wasn’t really sure if he meant this as a negative, but […]
