Workday Negotiation
Services

Workday locked you in for 3–5 years. Automatic renewals trigger at inflated rates before you’ve had time to negotiate. Long contract cycles mean one bad deal costs you millions over its lifetime. We help you take back control — with data, benchmarks, and insider expertise.

Workday Advisory Services

We don’t resell Workday. We don’t partner with Workday. Our team of SaaS negotiation specialists and a former Forrester negotiation consultant know exactly how Workday prices, discounts, and structures deals — because they’ve been on the other side.

🔄

Renewal Negotiation

Renegotiation of existing Workday agreements at renewal. Pricing benchmark, escalation cap negotiation, term restructuring, flexibility improvements, reduction rights, and elimination of over-provisioned modules or user counts.

Example: Renegotiated a $5.8M Workday HCM renewal, capping escalation at 3% (vs. 7% default), securing reduction rights, and saving $1.6M over the 3-year term.

💰

New Spend Advisory

Advisory for new Workday implementations, module additions, and platform expansions. Pricing benchmarking, commercial structuring, volume discount negotiation, multi-year term optimisation, and contract protections to buy right the first time.

Example: Secured 28% better pricing vs. Workday’s initial proposal on a $4.2M HCM + Financials implementation for a US healthcare group, saving $1.2M over the initial term.

🔍

Licence Optimisation

Analysis of deployment vs. contracted capacity. Are you paying for modules or FSE counts you don’t need? Co-terming opportunities? Payment term restructuring? We right-size and restructure before you negotiate.

Example: Identified $920K in annual over-provisioning across unused Adaptive Planning seats and over-counted FSEs for a European manufacturing group.

📈

Executive Benchmarking Report

Board-ready summary: current vs. market pricing, quantified savings opportunity, recommended negotiation position, risk analysis, and projected financial outcome. Gives your leadership the data to approve the strategy.

Example: Benchmarking revealed a Fortune 500 was paying $42 PEPM against a market range of $34–$38, unlocking a $1.1M annual savings opportunity across 22,000 employees.

📄

Contract Review

Independent review of your Workday agreement: auto-renewal triggers, annual escalation rates, termination and reduction rights, data portability, SLA commitments, and module lock-in provisions. We identify what’s missing and what must change.

Example: Flagged an auto-renewal clause with a 90-day notice window that would have locked in a 5-year renewal at inflated rates for a global insurer. Negotiated to 180-day notice with price renegotiation rights.

Managed & Behind-the-Scenes Negotiation

Two models: we take the lead (managed negotiation) or we advise invisibly while your team fronts the conversation. Both deliver the same benchmarks, counter-proposals, and tactical guidance — you choose the model that fits.

Example: Provided behind-the-scenes advisory on a $3.6M Workday Financials expansion, enabling procurement to secure 25% better terms without Workday knowing advisors were involved.
