Strada, a leader in international workforce management, is marking its first anniversary by showcasing new innovations at Workday Rising U.
S. 2025, scheduled for September 15-18. The company plans to highlight an exclusive partnership with Nayya, launch its new Strada Verify platform, and celebrate the full implementation of its Automated ACFR application.
At the event, located at booth #C1, Strada will debut an exclusive partnership with Nayya, an AI-powered benefits optimization platform. Strada will also officially launch Strada Verify, a no-code test automation platform, and recognize the go-live status of its Automated Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) app, designed for U.
S. public sector organizations. These initiatives underscore Strada’s dedication to streamlining processes, boosting efficiency, and fostering innovation for Workday customers globally.
Colin Brennan, Chief Executive Officer of Strada, stated, “Strada was created to bring speed, intelligence and simplicity to our customers’ most complex challenges. With our exclusive partnership with Nayya and proven solutions like Strada Verify and Automated ACFR, we’re helping Workday customers unlock measurable ROI to reduce costs, improve accuracy and drive more value from their Workday investment – and we’re just getting started.”
Building on a prior agreement, the exclusive partnership between Strada and Nayya will deliver a fully integrated, AI-powered benefits experience, becoming available in September and launching at Workday Rising U.
S. 2025. This collaboration integrates Nayya’s platform into Strada’s benefits administration solution, offering customers a comprehensive, end-to-end experience that maximizes the Workday platform’s capabilities. For organizations transitioning to Workday, this partnership eliminates the need for third-party systems, ensures seamless operations, and provides intelligent, personalized benefits guidance. Key benefits include rapid implementations for eligible Workday customers, enabling AI-powered decision support in as little as two weeks, personalized guidance through AI and real-time HR, payroll, and benefits data, and a smooth migration from legacy platforms. The solution has demonstrated up to 50% cost savings and over 50% reductions in support cases and employee calls. Demonstrations will be available during demo table sessions on Tuesday from 12:15 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Wednesday from 1:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. at the Ventures area at Moscone West, as well as in dedicated workshop sessions in the Strada Lounge on Tuesday from 12:00 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Strada will also introduce Strada Verify, an advanced test automation solution within the Workday ecosystem. Utilizing generative and agentic AI, Strada Verify aims to enhance Workday deployments, updates, and operations through increased scalability, intelligence, and coverage. Its capabilities include AI-powered automation for testing across Workday deployments and operations, lifecycle validation for new deployments, Workday feature releases, and weekly service updates, and end-to-end testing of entire business processes. The platform is encrypted to secure sensitive data, offering faster and smarter testing that reduces manual effort, improves coverage, and accelerates timelines, leading to cost and time savings. Attendees can learn more during the workshop ‘The Future of Workday Testing: Fast, Reliable and Automated’ in the Strada Lounge on Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
Additionally, Strada will celebrate the go-live of its Automated ACFR app, initially announced in June 2025. This application, designed for U.
S. state and local governments, connects directly to Workday Adaptive Planning, replacing manual reporting with intelligent automation. Now available on the Workday Marketplace, the app automates data extraction, formatting, and version control, ensuring precise compilation of all required ACFR content in compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) regulations. Strada plans to incorporate embedded AI agents in early 2026 to assist with drafting and refining complex narrative sections. Organizations using the app can anticipate an 80% reduction in time to produce an ACFR, a 50% reduction in manual effort, and estimated annual savings of $110,000 to $160,000. A first-hand look at the Automated ACFR app will be available during the workshop ‘Automated ACFR: Reshaping Financial Reporting in the Public Sector’ on Tuesday from 12:00 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. in the Strada Lounge, as well as during the Workday Rising showcase from 4:20 p.m. to 4:40 p.m.
Strada’s full suite of Built on Workday apps can be found on the Workday Marketplace. Demonstrations for these solutions are available upon request. Strada encourages attendees to visit booth #C1 at Workday Rising U.
