Workday and Zuora Expand Partnership to Help Companies Launch AI and
Usage-Based Pricing Without Sacrificing Accuracy or Financial Control

Zuora Monetization Suite for Workday Brings Billing and Revenue Capabilities
Directly to Workday Customers
PLEASANTON, Calif. and FOSTER CITY, Calif., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --
Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the trusted agentic platform for HR, finance,
and IT, and Zuora Inc., the leading monetization platform and system of
record for quote-to-cash, today announced an expanded partnership to help
companies launch new pricing models, such as AI and usage-based pricing,
faster and without losing accuracy or control of their financial records.
Customers can now access Zuora Billing and Zuora Revenue directly from Workday
as part of the Zuora Monetization Suite for Workday, helping finance teams
bill accurately and close the books with confidence.

AI is changing how companies charge for what they sell. As they move beyond
simple subscriptions to usage-based, AI-driven, and hybrid pricing, finance
teams need an easier, more connected way to manage billing and revenue. Too
often, the systems that track what customers buy and use are separate from the
systems that keep the company's official financial records. That creates more
manual work for finance teams to track charges and report revenue accurately,
making it harder for companies to test new pricing models and see which ones
drive profitable growth.
Building on their existing partnership that feeds Zuora billing and revenue
data into Workday's general ledger, Workday and Zuora are making it even
easier for companies to bring billing and accounting together by connecting
Zuora Billing and Zuora Revenue with Workday Financial Management and Workday
Accounting Center. As a result, finance teams can get a single, trusted view
of customer charges, usage, and revenue alongside their financial records, so
no one has to piece it together by hand.
"New technology changes how companies charge customers," said Max Wessel,
senior vice president of product, Workday. "Cloud made monthly subscriptions
common. Now, AI agents are driving a shift toward paying for what you use.
Together with Zuora, we're helping companies adapt without making billing and
accounting more complicated."
"Pricing has become a competitive advantage, but every new model can mean more
work and more risk for finance. Together with Workday, we're removing that
tradeoff. Organizations can access a connected approach that helps them launch
new revenue models while keeping finance accurate and in control," said Todd
McElhatton, chief operating and financial officer, Zuora. "We've also seen
this combination work firsthand: we've chosen Workday to support our financial
operations, and Workday uses Zuora for revenue recognition."
The Zuora Monetization Suite for Workday is available now to Workday Financial
Management customers. Customers can choose Zuora Billing, Zuora Revenue, or
both, depending on their business needs.
