Every year, Workday Rising offers a glimpse into what’s next for enterprise technology—and 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most transformative yet. From AI enablement to platform consolidation, organizations are facing new demands and opportunities that require bold, future-focused action.
At TopBloc, we don’t just watch these trends—we build solutions around them. As you prepare for Rising, here are the top themes we’ll be following closely—and how we’re helping clients stay ahead.
1. AI, Automation & Intelligent Workflows
What we’re seeing: AI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s reshaping how finance and HR teams detect anomalies, generate content, and make decisions. Workday’s continued AI investment is opening new doors for speed and strategy.
How TopBloc helps:
Our AI-enabled Testing Automation, powered by HappyPath, helps clients streamline testing across updates and deployments. We’re helping clients adopt AI features in Workday—like payroll anomaly detection, job description generation, and more.
Our advisory team partners with you to assess AI-readiness and build a practical roadmap for adoption.
💡See these solutions in action at Booth C6 or Workday Illuminate.
2. Breaking Down System Silos
What we’re seeing: Organizations are rethinking fragmented processes and disconnected point solutions. The goal? One unified platform across HR, Finance, and Operations.
How TopBloc helps:
Our featured session—“From Fragmented to Future-Ready: Radiology Partners’ Workday-Powered Transformation”—dives deep into how we helped a leading healthcare group retire legacy systems and modernize with Workday.
Whether you’re just starting or already live, TopBloc’s Advisory Services help you assess where to expand, streamline, or course-correct.

3. Strategy Over Speed in Deployment
What we’re seeing: More leaders are stepping back to ask: are we deploying for speed, or deploying for impact? The shift toward strategic transformation is in full swing.
How TopBloc helps:
Our Roadmapping Advisory service helps clients identify high-impact areas for expansion, optimization, or reimplementation. We offer multiple deployment pathways—including our premium Evolution + Advisory tier—to ensure each Workday journey is built to scale with purpose.

🤝 4. Ecosystem-Driven Innovation
What we’re seeing: The Workday ecosystem continues to grow—with new partners, tools, and integrations emerging to fill gaps and accelerate outcomes.
How TopBloc helps:
We co-develop ecosystem tools (like our AI testing automation) and guide clients in selecting fit-for-purpose solutions that extend Workday’s value. Our Partnership Scavenger Hunt at Booth C6 celebrates the ecosystem—while helping you discover new partners and win prizes along the way.

🛠️ 5. Total Lifecycle Support Is the New Gold Standard
What we’re seeing: Companies are no longer satisfied with short-term support. They want a partner that helps across the entire Workday lifecycle—from deployment to optimization to long-term scalability.
How TopBloc helps:
We offer end-to-end Workday services: Deployment, Application Management, Advisory, and Education. With over 1,000 deployments completed and the highest CSAT scores in the ecosystem, we’ve proven that full-lifecycle value drives better business outcomes.
