A couple weeks ago, I again had the opportunity to spend several days of quality time with IT leaders from top companies at the InformationWeek 500 Conference. Any place that is handing out awards for IT innovation is typically a good place to spot fantastic Workday customers, and Dana Point was no exception. Our friends from Flextronics, H.B. Fuller and Sony Pictures Entertainment discussed “How Software-as-a-Service Enhances Your Enterprise Application Strategy” to a full house, and our own Aneel Bhusri took the mainstage to discuss the Future of Software .

I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days with 300 of the smartest folks you are ever going to meet-- IT leaders attending the CIO 100 Conference in beautiful Colorado Springs. This event is held each year to “honor leading companies that demonstrate excellence and achievement in innovation and business value.” In other words, how to turn technology investments into business advantage for their firms.
