Workday AI Advisory and Activation

What is standing between you and getting value from Workday AI?

For most Workday customers, it is not access. Much of the capability is available to you. What is missing is an honest picture of what it means for your organisation specifically, and the clarity and confidence to act on it in a way that connects capability to the outcomes that matter.

Many HR and Finance leaders we speak to are in a similar position.
 
  • You may know AI needs to be part of your strategy.
  • You may have left a Workday event with a sense of ambition but less certainty about what it means for your organisation specifically.
  • You may be approaching renewal and facing decisions around Flex Credits and the UMSA that need to be properly understood before you commit.
  • Perhaps a specific agent or use case is on the table, but the next steps are not clear.

AI activation is not always a new investment. It is the next stage of getting full value from a platform you are already paying for.

We work with Workday customers to make the most of it.

Let's talk

We partner with you from not knowing where to start with AI, to confident, sustained adoption.

We make sense of what’s available, translate it into what it means for your organisation’s goals, and get the commercial, technical and human foundations right before anything is activated.

We stay with you as things evolve, so you keep getting value from your investment and always have someone who knows your organisation and is invested in the right outcome for you.

Workday’s AI capability promises better processes, faster decisions, less manual work and stronger outcomes. But the starting point is not the technology. It is understanding what your organisation wants to achieve.

That is what good Workday optimisation has always been about, and what Preos has always specialised in.

Established Customer

You have been on Workday for a while

You will already be familiar with Workday optimisation: making sure the system you went live with keeps pace with your organisation.

Over time, configurations drift, processes evolve, and the gap between what Workday can do and what you are getting from it widens. With the right foundations in place, that is where Workday AI becomes an opportunity, and there is often more to act on than you might expect.

Newer Customer

You are earlier in your Workday journey

If you are a newer Workday customer, you are starting from a stronger position than you may realise. Your configuration is closer to where it needs to be. Your processes are more likely to reflect how your organisation works.
 
That usually means less to unpick before activation, and a faster route to genuine value from Workday AI.

In both cases, the same things apply. It starts with understanding what you already have and getting the foundations in shape, and it only works if the people side lands as well as the technical side. That is Workday optimisation, and it is what makes AI activation possible.

How we work with you.

Every engagement starts in the same place: understanding what your organisation wants to achieve and building a picture of where you stand today. From there, we work through four stages.

You know what AI capability is available to you and what activation will cost. You understand what the UMSA means commercially and can approach every commercial decision from a position of knowledge. Your AI objectives map to your business goals, and you have a prioritised starting point you can back internally.

Your platform, data and processes are ready, and your people are brought along early. Anything that would have slowed activation or driven up cost under Flex Credits has been addressed. Your organisation is ready, so when activation begins, it lands.

The right capability is live and working as intended in your context, configured and tested by people who know Workday. Your people understand it and use it day to day; the difference it makes is visible internally, and you have a roadmap for what comes next, so momentum holds.

Workday AI keeps evolving, and you have the continuity of a partner who knows your setup and keeps pace with the platform for you. New releases are assessed against what your organisation needs, and the value of what you have already activated is protected. New capability gets used, and your investment keeps delivering.

Workday AI Strategy and Readiness

Why Preos?

Your outcomes first 

Making Workday deliver has always started with the same question: what does your organisation need to achieve? From there, it takes platform expertise and the ability to make change land with real people under real pressure.

Closing the gap between where you are and where you need to be is what Preos was built to do

Optimisation heritage

As the UK’s only Workday Services partner founded on optimisation expertise, we know what it takes to move an organisation from where it is to where it needs to be.
 
AI is the next stage of that journey, not a departure from it.
 
 

Dedicated Workday AI expertise

Workday’s AI capability is moving quickly, and keeping up requires focused effort.  We have consultants dedicated to tracking how the platform is evolving, what is changing commercially, and what it means for our clients.
 
We stay current so our clients do not have to.
 

Client-side experience 

Many of our team have worked client-side. We know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of a consultant’s recommendation, and what it takes to make a case that holds up under internal scrutiny.
 
That shapes how we work and what we help you build. We understand both your challenges and the technology.
