The innovation edge of Workday calls for a different kind of specialist.
That is why we partner with Incubane
No serious consultancy should pretend to be brilliant at everything. The deeper Workday goes into custom apps, marketplace products, and agentic AI, the more it rewards a team that does only that, every day. So when a client conversation moves into Workday Extend, the Built on Workday marketplace, or production-grade agents, we hand the build to Incubane and stay close on the parts that touch the wider platform.
We are particular about who we recommend to clients. Incubane is on this page because they run their practice the way we run ours: senior people on every engagement, EU-based delivery, comfortable saying no to the wrong project, and accountable for the outcome rather than the activity. The fact that they are deepest exactly where we have chosen not to invest makes the partnership clean. The fact that we hold shares in their group makes it real.
What They Cover
Workday Extend
Custom apps built directly on the Workday platform, designed so your team can maintain and extend them after go-live. The Incubane approach is to bring Extend capability in-house rather than create a permanent dependency. Useful when you have a business process Workday does not cover out of the box and you want a clean, native experience for users.
Built on Workday Apps
Seven (and counting) productised apps that deploy in minutes and go live within weeks. Highlights include 360 Feedback, AI-Powered Goal Management, Continuous Education Tracker, and Advanced AI Check-ins. Useful when the capability gap is common enough that you do not need a bespoke build to close it.
AI Strategy & Agents
Incubane runs an AI readiness assessment across the HR process landscape, separates the use cases that will last from the ones that will not, and builds the production-grade agents that survive a CIO review. Useful when your AI ambition is real but the path from idea to production is unclear.
How It Works in Practice
One Call. One Team. One Accountable Contact.
1
You tell us what is on your desk
The first call is with one of our managing partners. If the work fits Incubane, we run it. If it sits better with VirtualResource, we say so up front and bring them into the conversation.
2
We jointly scope
For mixed engagements (for example, an HCM implementation with an Extend app for a missing workflow), both teams scope together. You get one timeline, one set of decisions, one accountable contact.
3
You sign with whichever entity makes sense
Procurement-friendly. The contract sits with whichever firm leads delivery, with a clean subcontracting model when both teams are in the room.
