Workday.com - Going Up Against Oracle

Workday.com was released this week with the CEO David Duffield who was once the CEO of another competitor of Oracle, PeopleSoft, before Oracle bought them out and Mr. Duffiled resigned. Workday.com is boasting that they are the first alternative to ERP which has been out for 15 years now. Most of the technology in this sector has been used generally to keep track of financials and audits within the company, and now with Workday.com, its uses are much more widespread throughout the company, it can be used for resource management, revenue management, financial accounting and effective business management. Another big plus for Workday is that, there is no need to purchase any hardware or download any software to begin to use the services.

Considering the fact that Workday.com is trailblazing the way and being the first business in the sector to stray away from the use of ERP it will have a good Unique Selling Position against the others in the field.
