I would be amazed if Oracle does not buy NetSuite.

If you stay very focused on customers and customer success, people pay attention to that - and in turn, they also want that same type of success.

I'm not a stock expert by any means. Stocks go up; they go down.

All you can worry about as CEO is making sure your company continues to build great products, deliver the revenue, and keep your customers happy.

Workday is constantly looking into the future and, you know, building applications that stay modern and relevant.

We invest very heavily in the employees. We get the return, and the employee gets the return if they stay with us for a while. So, we focus on people that will commit to us for the long run.

The debate between the cloud and on-premise is largely dead. The cloud has become mainstream.
Aneel Bhusri -
Every employee at Workday thinks about how they are going to help customers be successful. It is a simple formula, but a lot of companies go out, and they don't listen to their customers; they don't try to solve hard problems, making it tougher for themselves to create a great business.

I sit on the board of Cloudera, a big vantage point of big data.
Aneel Bhusri -
In a slower economy, companies look for more value. The cloud provides this. So does Big Data.

I think the bring-your-own-device is the best thing that ever happened to CIOs. Now employees are paying for their own devices.

The goal isn't just to make transactions: it's to make better decisions in the way you run your business. If that's not at the top of every executive's priorities, then they shouldn't be an executive.

To really disrupt a big market, you have to look at the marketplace from a long-term perspective. You have to move very fast but knowing that disruptive solutions just take time to build.

I have long been fond of comparing Workday strategy to the process of sending a rocket to the moon.
Aneel Bhusri -
You can't replace luck and timing. With Workday, our timing was perfect. We started in 2005 right as cloud computing was beginning to take off.

Oracle is not known for its high levels of customer satisfaction.

There's talent everywhere; we just have to make technology accessible to them.
Aneel Bhusri -
We spend a lot of time looking at the things we like: Amazon, Google, Facebook.

There's nothing slowing down about the shift to the cloud. I don't see anything on the horizon that is changing that.
Aneel Bhusri -
Success begets success in terms of customer deployments and having truly happy customers.
Aneel Bhusri -
Every time you see a new paradigm emerge, it's always new vendors that lead it. I can't think of one case where an incumbent led a paradigm shift.

Candidly, when you go back to '07 or '08, it was hard to sell cloud. We started out by focusing on large enterprises on day one. Everybody thought cloud was for SMBs (small and mid-size businesses), but we made the leap that it was going to be for large enterprises, that they were going to replace their core systems.
