At IPO, 66% of Workday's revenue came from subscriptions (34% professional services), and they had 54% gross margins and (4%) FCF margin
Today they reported Q4. 89% of their revenue was subscription, gross margins were 72%, and FCF margin was 45%. Incredible scaling $WDAY

.@workday credentials using #blockchain can be a game changer.
#chousangle - Think about identity access management and how hard it is to do it right in #healthcare. How long does it take to credential a new clinical employee? #wdayrising

Oracle on Salesforce 2005: "Marc is running scared"
Salesforce today: $131B
Oracle on Workday 2012: "too small and frail"
Workday today: $41B
Oracle on MongoDB 2017: "Feature-Poor"
MongoDB today: $8B
Enterprise software incumbents attacking a startup is probably a good sign.

3/4 As software eats the world, access to developer talent is becoming a constraint. @Career_Karma prepares and delivers diverse talent to the likes of @LambdaSchool, playing a key role at the top of the funnel.

Work is digital but credentials aren’t. Today, @Workday is changing that - by using blockchain to turn them into software. Proud of the team today, after 12 months of building. blogs.workday.com/our-vision…

Congratulations @Zendesk on being honored at the @SFGMC gala tonight. @mikkelsvane your suit was perfect! It was a pleasure to attend with my colleague @jamescross (and @SFGMC alum himself) to celebrate all the amazing work the organization is doing. Beautiful evening.

Hands down, @Workday's perspective of the potential and limitations of #machinelearning is the most down-to-earth I've heard - at least in #HRTech. Approachable, reasonable, and focused on what's truly viable. #wdaysummit
