Workday will make Evisort's AI-powered document intelligence solutions available across a range of use cases, helping to better enable teams and reshaping roles, including:

This will help to protect profits and safeguard the business from unnecessary risk.
• Employee Knowledge Base. Employees will have faster access to information surrounding HR and finance policies such as benefits and expenses, reducing the time it takes to source critical employee information.
