We deliver Workday negotiation services to enterprises that have a real contract on the table. Eight engagement types across new contracts, renewals, optimization, and shelfware recovery — each available under fixed fee or gain share. No SDRs, no implementation arm, no Workday partnership. Independent by design.
First-time Workday buyers. Benchmark, structure, negotiate before you sign.
12-month runway. Leverage, benchmarks, price caps, co-terming.
Right-size modules. Eliminate shelfware. 20–40% cost reduction.
Find unused modules. Build data. Use as renewal leverage.
Workday negotiation services are most valuable in three contract events: a first-time enterprise Workday purchase, a renewal where Workday's annual escalator and unused-module spend have crept into the agreement, and a mid-term optimization where workforce reductions or M&A activity have rendered parts of the deployment redundant. Across those three event types, our engagements have delivered an average 34% reduction against starting Workday pricing on a verified basis.
The economics work because Workday's pricing model — per-employee-per-year (PEPY) by module, with multi-year commitments, list-vs-discount discipline, and a structured deal desk — is highly negotiable in ways that most enterprise procurement teams do not encounter often enough to internalize. Our practitioners do encounter it. Routinely.
List vs. effective per-employee-per-year price by module and edition.
Annual price increases, multi-year commitments, evergreen renewal language.
Bundling discounts, edition right-sizing, unused-module removal at renewal.
Annual vs quarterly payment, co-terming dates, true-up mechanics.
Every workday negotiation services engagement is available under both fee models. Fixed fee suits scoped reviews and clients who want a predictable cost. Gain share suits clients who want zero upfront cost and are willing to share verified savings.
Predictable scope, deliverable, and fee. You know exactly what you are paying before we start. Best when the savings are difficult to verify cleanly, or you want benchmark-only deliverables.
Zero upfront cost. Our fee equals a percentage of verified savings against the agreed baseline. No savings, no fee. Our incentives are 100% aligned with yours.
Every engagement includes a benchmark read (current pricing vs. our 500+ deal comparables), a contract restructure proposal (term, escalators, caps, co-terming, payment terms), and live negotiation support through to signature. Deliverables are a written negotiation memo, redline support on the order form and master agreement, and a signed contract with verified savings.
Renewals: 8–14 weeks against a 6–12 month renewal runway. New contracts: 4–10 weeks depending on RFP scope. Optimization: 4–8 weeks. We start at the latest 90 days before the renewal date — earlier is better. We will decline late-arriving engagements where there isn't enough runway to build real leverage.
No. We sit inside your procurement and IT functions as the Workday-specific subject matter expert. Procurement runs the process. We provide the benchmarks, the language, the structure, and the live read on where Workday's discount authority sits.
Yes. Every Workday negotiation service we offer is available under both models. Fixed fee suits clients who want a predictable cost or whose savings cannot be cleanly verified. Gain share suits clients who want zero upfront risk and are willing to share verified savings.
