Eniro accelerates its AI transformation with Sana. Eniro is intensifying its three-year AI initiative through a strategic partnership with Sana. This marks Eniro's largest investment in AI to date and is a central part of the company's transformation into an agentic, data-driven and scalable business focused on profitability and accelerating organic growth. Having stabilised its operations and strengthened profitability, Eniro is now entering its next phase.

A central part of Eniro's go-to-market strategy is the platform Robin, which helps small and medium-sized businesses to strengthen their digital presence, attract customers and drive business through services including websites, advertising and digital visibility. The AI initiative is a central part of Eniro's transformation into an agentic company, where AI, data and automation drive more workflows automatically - both internally across the organisation and in Eniro's services for small and medium-sized businesses. "This is the single largest investment Eniro has made in product development. We are expanding our offering and making the organisation faster. For our customers, this means more and better services, and for us as a company, it is about increasing order value per customer and achieving double-digit organic growth. The first AI agents will be launched already in the second quarter of 2026," says Hosni Teque-Omeirat, president and CEO of Eniro. The partnership with Sana will initially focus on improving internal efficiency. With the help of AI, Eniro's knowledge, routines and processes will become more accessible in the daily work, reducing repetitive tasks and freeing up time for work that creates higher quality and greater customer value. "Eniro is an iconic company that is now stepping up. With Sana as a partner, the company is building an organisation where AI supports employees in their daily work. This is an important step in a journey that will be exciting to follow," says Joel Hellermark, CEO and founder of Sana. Sana is an AI lab reimagining how people learn and work. Its AI products are trusted by organizations including Ahlsell, Polestar, Merck, Voi, and Brex. In 2025, Sana was acquired by Workday in Europe's largest AI exit to date.

Sana from Workday launches AI superintelligence to streamline business. March 18, 2026 Workday has announced a major evolution of its business platform, with the first update to its integration with Sana, the AI platform company it acquired in November 2025. Sana from Workday is now available to customers worldwide. And early adopters are already praising the quantifiable benefits they have received. Sana from Workday initially consists of two Sana applications, Sana for Workday and Sana Enterprise. The first is the new AI experience for Workday, which provides a new user experience for Workday users and integrates with existing Workday Agents. Sana Enterprise extends the Agentic AI platform across the whole enterprise technology stack. Aneel Bhusri, Co-Founder, CEO and Chair of Workday, described it as "The last software platform that people have to learn." Sana Enterprise enables organisations to create agents that can find, orchestrate, and automate work across a wide range of applications. Workday also announced the Sana Self-Service Agent. The Self-Service agent comes with over 300 pre-built skills that help organisations to automate tasks across Workday HR and Finance. There are already 400 customers in the early adopter group. AI often fails because organisations lack a single, focused solution that can access data and processes across different systems. Leveraging the power of Sana - built to integrate across multiple systems - Workday believes it now has a solution that can address what many see as the failure point of AI projects. Sana from Workday will deliver AI in a single location within the enterprise. The new business experience. Importantly, it leverages the security and user policies available in Workday to provide context for any automations. Sana also sits within the existing Workday audit framework. This means that, since Sana operates within Workday's established security, permissions, and audit frameworks, its agents are subject to the same controls that customers rely on for sensitive HR and finance data. This integration ensures enterprise-grade outcomes. Bhusri commented, "AI only works in the enterprise when it's connected to trusted, deterministic systems. And that hybrid architecture is exactly what Workday is building. Sana is what brings it all together. It's not just a new Workday experience - it's a powerful way for people to search, reason, and orchestrate work across the enterprise." Sana brings AI orchestration across HR and Finance. In contrast to standalone assistants or copilots, which are limited to providing suggestions, Sana by Workday coordinates AI agents that can execute actions across multiple systems. The platform incorporates four principal functionalities: * Find: Delivers immediate, referenced responses sourced from organisational knowledge and Workday data. For instance, employees may inquire about remaining vacation days or the current contract value for ABC Plc., and receive prompt, accurate answers. * Act: Performs tasks throughout connected systems, adhering strictly to enterprise permissions. Employees can request updates to their personal information. Such as changing their home address, and simultaneously view the impact on tax forms and benefits. Additionally, users could update the contract value in their CRM instance, assuming they have appropriate permissions. * Build: Converts organisational knowledge into actionable dashboards, summaries, and documents. Managers can generate dashboards that display pipeline stages and interview feedback from Workday Recruiting. * Automate: Enables creation of no-code, multi-step workflows to facilitate automated processes. Employees may establish monthly workflows that monitor email inboxes for receipts, verify compliance with policy, and generate reports for approval prior to submission - effectively converting a repetitive monthly task into something the Agentic AI can perform. Gerrit Kazmaier, President, Product & Technology, Workday, said, "Most AI projects today live in pilots and browser tabs - they look impressive in demos, but they don't change how work actually gets done. With Sana from Workday, we're delivering a new way to get work done - where AI agents take action using trusted context, not just provide suggestions. Sana from Workday will be the last software you have to learn - a single experience where AI is embedded directly in the flow of work." Creating the next-generation user interface. The introduction of Sana for Workday offers a system that enables users to interact with Workday using natural language rather than mouse clicks. No longer will users have to work their way through menus to find what they are looking for. Or ask others for help. Sana understands the context of the application and the individual. And even if it doesn't initially respond with the answer an employee wanted, the user can iterate to find the correct answer. Thus, learning from the first phrasing of their question. Anton Nytorp, CTO, Cheffelo, commented, "Already, Sana is able to automate tasks across the enterprise for both HR and Finance teams. The system is reducing queries and freeing up time for HR and finance teams. "At Cheffelo, Sana has gone from an AI experiment to our AI backbone - the place where work starts, knowledge lives, and agentic workflows run in the background so our teams can focus on strategic decisions and customers." This raises the question of the impact of the HR and Finance teams: will so many employees be needed? Bhusri noted, "There's a lot of manual work that was done in weeks that now gets done in minutes. And there's no company that's not going to want to do it that way. It's the better way, but you have to find a solution for the people who get displaced. A big part of what Sana and Workday does with learning is retraining. "And we've got to double down on the retraining side, and I hope there's a world where AI is complementary to humans. We have to find a path to that." Sana Enterprise. Sana Enterprise is where this announcement gets even more interesting. It demonstrates the reason why Workday acquired Sana. It places Workday as the user interface and Agentic AI platform of choice for its customers. The intent is that customers will no longer need to look at a fragmented AI landscape. But can centralise on a single platform. Sana Enterprise is built to integrate across solutions. There are already connectors for commonly used solutions such as Box, Confluence, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Drive, Google Tasks, Jira, Linear, Microsoft Outlook Calendar, Microsoft Outlook Email, Miro, Notion, Salesforce, ServiceNow, SharePoint, Slack, and Zoom. Workday plans to add more over the coming months. Using these connectors and the context of the individual gathered from both Workday and the target system, ensure tasks are completed appropriately. Joel Hellermark, Senior Vice President and General Manager of AI, Workday, said, "Sana is the closest thing we have to a super intelligent co-worker. It sees the full picture of your organisation in Workday, it knows which systems to touch, and it can coordinate the steps between them. Instead of dozens of tickets and handoffs, you ask for an outcome and Sana delivers it." Josh Bersin, Global Industry Analyst and CEO of The Josh Bersin Company, noted, "Workday's integration with Sana is a major milestone in the market, giving HR and business users a highly intelligent, AI-native experience to automate work, solve problems, and build agentic solutions. "We see Sana as a leader in this space and the decision to build Sana into the Workday experience will transform Workday's business and the entire customer and employee experience." Availability and pricing. Sana for Workday and the Sana Self-Service Agent are now available to Workday customers through Workday Flex Credits. There is no extra module cost. Sana Enterprise is now available with Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) or Workday Financial Management and through Workday Flex Credits. Enterprise times: what does this mean. For Workday customers, this is certainly a solution they should investigate further if they are not in the earlier adopter program. Early feedback is very positive. Not only does it help employees, but it can also simplify the AI Landscape. Joona Honka, Head of AI and Analytics, Berner, noted, "Within 40 days, Sana became our default AI interface at work - we reached 90% adoption and retired 400 ChatGPT licenses." As yet, there has been no detailed cost-benefit analysis of the solution, but early feedback indicates it is substantial. However, there are some potential longer-term issues which Bhusri acknowledged. Organisations may retrain or shed staff; they will almost certainly need to employ fewer people within HR and possibly finance in the future. This will help the bottom line for organisations, but it does leave countries with potentially higher unemployment. Organisations also need to ensure that they retain their organisational knowledge. Not just in AI systems but also among remaining employees. If no one understands what the AI is doing or how it reaches its decisions, this could carry risks in the future.
