↗
Private equity firm Silver Lake is reportedly in talks to acquire Workday, the HR and financial management software maker, which has a market value of approximately $43 billion.
A take-private acquisition of Workday at this scale would shift governance of a widely deployed enterprise HR and finance platform from public markets to private equity, potentially altering product roadmap priorities, pricing structures, and service terms for organizations that depend on it. The reported nature of the talks means the outcome remains uncertain.
