Workday Brings AI-Native Contract Lifecycle Management to EU Businesses with Frankfurt Data Residency

Multilingual Support and Local Data Residency Empowers European Legal and Business Teams to Accelerate Deals and Reduce Risk

LONDON, UK, Feb. 26, 2026 - Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today announced EU-based data residency in Frankfurt and multilingual support for Workday Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), giving European organisations an AI-native contract management solution that meets EU data residency requirements. Powered by Evisort AI, Workday CLM helps legal and business teams accelerate deals, reduce compliance risk, and unlock insights across their contract portfolios.

EU organisations can now leverage Workday CLM, which includes the Contract Intelligence Agent and Contract Negotiation Agent, to analyse contracts and process agreements while remaining fully compliant with regional data regulations.

"As organisations look to scale their use of AI, they need a partner that combines innovation with a steadfast commitment to data sovereignty," said Aine Lyons, senior vice president and deputy general counsel, Workday. "By expanding our data residency offering in Frankfurt and introducing a localised user experience with expanded language support, we are empowering customers to fully leverage the power of Workday CLM to surface insights, accelerate deal velocity, and streamline workflows for their business."

Workday also announced the implementation of AI-powered language support for CLM users, enabling German, French, and Spanish, with additional languages arriving later this year. This will enable organisations across Europe to:

• Surface Opportunities and Risks: The Workday Contract Intelligence Agent delivers a unified, intelligent contract repository that turns static documents into actionable insights, helping teams identify revenue opportunities and mitigate risks faster.
• Accelerate Deal Velocity: The Workday Contract Negotiation Agent streamlines pre-signature agreement processes with AI-powered risk review, drafting, and redlining, reducing manual friction in the negotiation cycle.
• Analyse Complex Agreements: The Custom AI Model Library enables point-and-click access to over 120 expert-trained custom models that turn complex agreements into valuable data points for Procurement, Accounting, HR, and other teams.

Workday CLM is currently available to all businesses looking to unlock the value of their contract data and unify legal, HR, and finance processes on a single, secure enterprise AI platform.
