At some point over the past couple of decades, enterprise applications acquired a reputation of being hopelessly complex and hard to use. Well, it’s true. They are. But it’s not surprising why. Today, vendors of legacy enterprise applications still try to put a pretty user interface (UI) on top of ancient technology history – a client/server architecture that hasn’t changed much since the late 80s. And it just doesn’t work.
Music history is much kinder, and cooler. In 1989 MTV debuted “Unplugged,” an acoustic, stripped-down-to-the- core musical performance show that remains one of the network’s most popular. In 2008, Workday takes its inspiration from the “unplugged” notion that technology is at its best when it’s first focused on the user experience – and secondly on the robust back-end infrastructure and processes required to make business happen. Our applications embody both elements.
This booklet shows you the results of Workday’s “unplugged” approach to building a UI. We’ve made complicated enterprise applications simple, awesomely simple, with a user interface that is:
1. Quintessentially Workday
2. Navigable
3. Natural
4. Personal
5. Durable
