One of Workday's greatest benefits is that all customers operate on the same system version. There are no buyups for an "elite" model or costly upgrades. Workday offers two yearly feature updates that automatically go into customer environments. There is no direct cost for the updates, but this does not mean that Workday customers should not take these releases seriously. There can be all sorts of great updates, opt-in items and mandatory (often referred to as automatically available) additions in each release.
