Workday has emerged as a leading enterprise management system, along with SAP and Oracle, by disrupting the Human Capital Management (HCM) space and adding finance, planning, and procurement capabilities to its portfolio. Over the last eight years, Workday has completed 17 acquisitions in various talent management areas, including employee engagement, learning, payroll, recruitment, and talent management.

On November 18, 2021, Workday entered into a definitive agreement to acquire VNDLY, a cloud-based external workforce and vendor management technology provider, for US$510 million. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022.
