The a16z Show
Workday’s Last Workday? AI and the Future of Enterprise Software

So I think that like this workbench native, like allowing HR teams to genuinely build versus, hey, spend $25,000 to like build anything on top of Workday and then also get yourself a consultant that can build it for you.

The a16z Show
Workday’s Last Workday? AI and the Future of Enterprise Software

So I think that like people are going to stay inside the work, you know, the tools that they're using or like there's going to be an AI native version of this and you can just actually allow agents to do work for you.

The a16z Show
Workday’s Last Workday? AI and the Future of Enterprise Software

I think the open piece is critical.

The a16z Show
Workday’s Last Workday? AI and the Future of Enterprise Software

Security is like paramount and permissioning is really critical.

The a16z Show

And then the compliance piece is like the last one, which is, you know, this is a heavily regulated space.

The a16z Show
Workday’s Last Workday? AI and the Future of Enterprise Software

And so just thinking through like how do I monitor that

Workday’s Last Workday? AI and the Future of Enterprise Software

And how do I ensure that like my platform is like enterprise ready, global ready from the start is critical.
