Workday, a SaaS-based enterprise solutions provider for global human resources (HR), payroll and financial management, unveiled Workday 16, the company's newest update, Market Wire reports.

Workday 16 delivers more than 128 new enhancements and features as well as an advanced and modern user experience across all solutions, including HTML5 for mobile.

Sys Con states that all customers benefit from Workday's ability to rapidly adopt the newest technologies as they become available, receiving updates free of charge as part of their regular SaaS subscriptions.

Workday 16 also includes the graphical visualisation of business processes, electronic document distribution and recipient acknowledgement, and Section 508 support for manager self service.

Workday competes with SAP and Oracle in the professional software and services realm, Venture Beat says.

“So much change is happening in the mobile space right now, and we want to be part of that,” Workday CTO Stan Swete said.

The company plans to launch three big software updates this year, with its 16th overall version going live for all customers.
