Workday is beginning to scale customers who are running the company's finance and human resources software on Amazon Web Services.

While multiple software providers such as Infor, Salesforce and SAP have customers running their products on AWS, Workday's move to the public cloud is relatively new. Workday said customers running its software on AWS "signals a milestone" and broadens the company's reach.

Workday said running on AWS gives it more freedom to choose how and where they run the company's applications with more flexibility.
