Unveiled by Workday in June 2024, Built on Workday enables Workday partners to easily build, launch, and centrally manage apps on the trusted Workday platform. This provides partners with opportunities to accelerate and scale their app development while addressing customers' evolving business, industry, and regional challenges.
Through this strategic partnership, customers will have direct and seamless access to Kainos' best-in-class products – Kainos Smart Test, Kainos Smart Audit, and Kainos Employee Document Management. Listed on Workday Marketplace, these Kainos products will help customers automate and scale their Workday operations and maintenance while maximizing use of the Workday platform. The partnership will enable Kainos to accelerate distribution of its products while reaching an expanded customer base. It will also see Workday's sales teams across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific incentivized to introduce and co-sell Kainos Products.
Malachy Smith, Workday Global Practice Leader at Kainos commented, "Over the past ten years we have developed and launched fantastic products that, alongside Workday, help our customers overcome their industry and business challenges. We are delighted to sign this transformative innovation agreement allowing us to co-sell our products with Workday. We believe this will more than triple our ARR over the next six years."
"This strategic expansion is an exciting step in our partnership with Kainos and underscores our companies' mutual dedication to customers, co-innovation, and the Built on Workday program," said Doug Robinson, co-president, Workday. "By collaborating to accelerate app development and distribution, we can help our joint customers recognize even greater value from their Workday investment, helping them keep pace in a changing world of work."
