Workday Grows Open Ecosystem with BigQuery Alliance

Workday, Inc., the business AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, unveiled a new global developer network that provides access to Workday AI tools and training, enabling individuals worldwide to acquire, develop, and certify new skills.

Additionally, the company introduced Google Cloud as the newest partner to join Workday Data Cloud, offering clients a safe, zero-copy method to send Workday finance and HR data to BigQuery for insights driven by AI.

“With the launch of our global developer network and Google BigQuery joining Workday Data Cloud, we’re opening our ecosystem in ways that meaningfully expand what’s possible for customers,”

said Gerrit Kazmaier, President of product and technology, Workday.

“When more people can access Workday’s trusted data, tools, and AI, organizations can move faster, unlock new insights, and drive real business results.”

To nurture the next generation of AI talent, Workday is establishing a worldwide developer network that provides access to Workday Build, enabling a larger community of learners to acquire, certify, and use Workday skills.

Aspiring developers may get practical experience creating AI-powered solutions, from basic extensions to sophisticated agents, by learning with Workday.

To provide specialized training programs and certifications, Workday is collaborating with academic institutions all around the world, such as Chennai Institute of Technology and KL University, as well as employment companies like Consultnet, Helios Consulting, and Randstad Digital.

As a result, students will be able to gain real-world experience with Workday and get ready for positions that are in high demand throughout the Workday Economy.

After completing the program, developers will receive a Workday Pro Developer Certification and can be listed in the Workday Talent Directory, which will put them in direct contact with partners and clients seeking qualified personnel to expedite their AI projects.

“The Workday developer network will transform how we connect talent with opportunity,”

said Trevor Lee, CEO, Helios Consulting.

“With a verified pool of Workday-certified developers, built through our Horizons apprenticeship program, we can help clients quickly and confidently find skilled professionals who not only understand the technology but are ready to apply it to real business challenges.”
