Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), a leading provider of solutions to help organizations manage their people and money, today announced that it will now offer customers the option to run Workday Adaptive Planning on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud in Singapore. Workday Financial Management and Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) are currently available on AWS in Singapore.

With Workday on AWS, customers in Singapore can meet their local data hosting requirements while maintaining the enterprise-grade security, scalability, and performance they expect from Workday. In addition, with Workday AI embedded into the core of Workday Adaptive Planning, companies will be able to surface real time insights and make faster decisions to keep pace with the speed of business, allowing for streamlined enterprise planning processes across finance and human resources.

Since 2018, Shake Shack, one of the world’s most popular fast food chains, has successfully implemented Workday for comprehensive workforce planning to support their business objectives. With Workday Adaptive Planning, Shake Shack departments are now able to run budget and forecast cycles which allows the company to more accurately and efficiently forecast revenue and spending, amortise equipment, and expedite the budget cycle. At the same time, all cost center managers are leveraging Workday Adaptive Planning to create a variety of forecasts, allowing Shake Shack to reap the benefits of clearer forecasts and faster budgeting.

“Workday Adaptive Planning has brought extraordinary value to our business by giving us the power of information to help make better decisions,” noted Brian Seely, Vice President, Enterprise Systems and Solutions, Shake Shack Enterprises, LLC.

“Amid a dynamic business landscape where companies today need to easily adapt to changing business conditions, unlimited scenario analysis backed by machine learning to gain real-time insights can have a transformative impact,” said Pannie Sia, general manager, ASEAN, Workday. “Having Workday Adaptive Planning in addition to Workday Financial Management and Workday HCM on AWS in the region ensures businesses in Singapore — including those that are operating in a regulated environment — now have the option to modernise and replace aging technology and disparate systems with Workday.”
