Strada Marks Workday Rising Anniversary with AI-Driven HR Innovations

Strada, a leader in people, payroll, and technology solutions for international workforce management, is celebrating its first anniversary with a bold showcase at Workday Rising U.S. 2025 (booth #C1, September 15–18). The company is debuting AI-powered solutions designed to simplify HR operations, reduce costs, and maximize value from Workday investments.

Nayya + Strada: Smarter, Personalized Benefits
Strada’s exclusive partnership with Nayya brings AI-driven benefits optimization directly into the Workday ecosystem. The integrated solution allows eligible customers to go live in as little as two weeks, offering personalized guidance powered by real-time HR, payroll, and benefits data. Strada estimates up to 50% cost savings and more than 50% reduction in support cases and employee calls.

“The goal is to bring speed, intelligence, and simplicity to our customers’ most complex challenges,” said Colin Brennan, CEO of Strada. “With Nayya and our proven solutions like Strada Verify and Automated ACFR, we’re helping Workday customers unlock measurable ROI—and we’re just getting started.”

Strada Verify: AI-Powered Test Automation
Strada Verify leverages generative and agentic AI to automate testing across Workday deployments, updates, and operations. The solution provides full lifecycle validation, end-to-end process coverage, and secure, encrypted testing, reducing manual effort while accelerating timelines and improving accuracy. Attendees can explore Strada Verify in the workshop The Future of Workday Testing: Fast, Reliable and Automated.

Automated ACFR: Modernizing Public Sector Reporting
Strada’s Automated Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) app, now live for U.S. state and local governments, replaces manual reporting with intelligent automation. Direct integration with Workday Adaptive Planning allows for an 80% reduction in time to produce reports, a 50% reduction in manual effort, and estimated annual savings of $110,000–$160,000. AI enhancements planned for early 2026 will assist in drafting and refining narrative sections.

Showcase Opportunities at Workday Rising
Visitors can experience Strada’s solutions in live demos and workshops, including Strada Verify, Automated ACFR, and the Nayya benefits integration. Strada’s full portfolio of Workday apps is also available on the Workday Marketplace.
