Workday, Inc. WDAY is set to introduce the Workday Agent System of Record, powered by Workday Illuminate, which offers a centralized system for managing enterprises’ entire fleet of AI agents. The solution brings numerous benefits for enterprises looking to streamline the use of AI across their operations and unlock the full potential of AI agents.

The solution offers real-time operational visibility that helps organizations to track and monitor AI agent’s activity, expenses and employment policies. This also facilitates real-time identity verification and agent orchestration to ensure continuous optimization of AI performance. Centralized management of all AI systems improves transparency in operation and allows enterprises to efficiently asses their impact and effectiveness.

Automated configuration, access controls and policy enforcement ensure secure and compliant deployment of AI agents. WDAY solution also simplifies the new AI-agent onboarding process with defined roles, skills and secure access to relevant data. This ensures faster time to value for AI investments and a well-structured integration bolsters operational efficiency. It also enables companies to effectively evaluate the expenses of AI agents and optimize return on investment. These advanced capabilities are expected to be a game changer for organizations with complex and comprehensive AI-native digital-workflow processes.

Workday also introduced several role-based AI agents, which are easily deployable through the Workday Agent System of Record. This includes Workday Contracts Agent, Policy Agent, Financial Auditing Agent and Payroll Agent. Unlike most AI agents in the market which follow specific step-by-step instructions, Workday AI Agents have configurable skill sets, providing more autonomy and enhancing capabilities to support people in their roles. Workday Agent System of Record and its cutting-edge role-based AI agents are in development and expected to be available through Workday Marketplace later in 2025.

Will This Product Launch Drive WDAY’s Share Performance?

Organizations across industries are placing strong emphasis on AI integration across their operations.

Workday’s innovative Agent System of Record efficiently addresses the issues of fragmented AI operations, security vulnerability and onboarding.

As AI becomes a more integral part of business operations, Workday’s centralized AI management tool is expected to gain solid market traction across industries.
