Workday has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Sana, an AI company specializing in enterprise knowledge tools, for approximately $1.1 billion. The acquisition will power a new Workday experience where knowledge, data, action, and learning converge to create a more proactive and personalized workplace.
Gerrit Kazmaier, President of Product and Technology at Workday, said, “Sana’s team, AI-native approach, and beautiful design perfectly align with our vision to reimagine the future of work.” The transaction, subject to customary approvals, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Workday’s fiscal year 2026, ending January 31, 2026.
Sana will continue developing its core products while accelerating innovation under Workday’s platform. Joel Hellermark, Sana’s Founder and CEO, stated, “I’m excited to bring these tools to 75 million Workday users and partner with Workday’s iconic team to launch a new era of superintelligence for work.”
Sana’s AI tools are already delivering measurable results, including significant time and productivity gains for enterprises across manufacturing, law, and technology. With Sana Learn enhancing Workday Learning and Sana Agents streamlining workflows through automation, the combined platform will advance personalized skill-building and efficiency at scale.
