Overview

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Workday highlighted Helios in April 2026 for its Global Developer Network and AI-talent pipeline.
  • Helios hosted a February 26, 2026 webinar with Workday and OneSource Virtual on payroll AI.
  • Workday customer demand for initial deployments, AMS, and AI skills keeps Helios' pipeline active.

What critics are saying

  • Workday 2026 R1 retires legacy Change Job, forcing clients into costly migrations Helios must staff.

  • Helios Horizons, launched by 2025, trains paid apprentices into certified Workday consultants.

Through this agreement, Helios – a Workday Advisory Partner since 2018 and an Application Management Services Partner since 2023 – will become a deployment partner for Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), Workday Financial Management, and Workday VNDLY, continuing its existing work throughout the Workday ecosystem while also supporting new Workday customers with their initial deployment.As a Workday Partner, Helios already supports Workday customers with access to comprehensive support including collaborative execution, embedded experts in client teams, Phase X deployments, and process reengineering to fully leverage Workday's capabilities. Now, Helios will also support initial deployment, enabling Helios to provide end-to-end services to Workday customers that can be tailored to their unique budget, scope, and timeline requirements.In addition to its longstanding collaboration with Workday, Helios has also launched the first apprenticeship program – called Horizons –to provide certified, work-ready Workday consultants to Workday customers and partners.
