But the shares fell more than 8% in after-hours trading after the company forecast subscription revenue for $9.0 billion for the current year just shy of Wall Street\u2019s $10 billion expectations.Bhusri co-founded Workday in 2005 and was reappointed as the CEO earlier this month. He acknowledged the investor security over how companies are monetising AI. Bhusri also added that Workday\u2019s AI agents are still in early access, with revenue lagging due to consumption-based models. \u201cThere\u2019s a delay before we see the actual revenue from it,\u201d Bhusri explained. \u201cI think we end this year, the second half this year, really strongly, and we set up a really amazing following year where we turn into a consumption platform, just like the hyperscalers.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Layoffs and restructuring at Workday<\/p>\n<p>Workday also announced that it would cut 2% workforce. The fresh round of layoffs will impact 400 employees, including dozens of quality assurance roles at its Pleasanton headquarters. The company had previously laid off 1,800 employees (8.5%) last year, recording $303 million in restructuring costs for the fiscal year. Workday reported just over 21,000 employees at the end of January, before the latest cuts.Bhusri also emphasised that Workday\u2019s AI agents are designed to augment, not replace, enterprise HR systems. While acknowledging that adoption will take time, he expressed confidence that Workday\u2019s AI-driven features will eventually transform the company into a consumption-based platform, aligning with the revenue models of cloud hyperscalers like Amazon and Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;AI Will Create More Than It Destroys&#8217;: Microsoft India Chief Puneet Chandok Predicts 3-Year Rise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Workday CEO Aneel Bhusri sought to claim investor concerns about the rise of AI-powered \u2018agentic\u2019 apps, telling analysts&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":626474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,267628,738,19781,158,67,132,68,224534,267627],"class_list":["post-626473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-aneel-bhusri","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-software-company","tag-technology","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-workday","tag-workday-layoffs"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116158692458845572","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
