Summary
Dayforce, Inc., formerly known as Ceridian, is a prominent American human resources software and services company. It provides a comprehensive cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) platform that unifies HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent acquisition. While its Wikipedia entry indicates it is currently a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange, and an S&P 500 component with significant 2024 revenues, a related document mentions a "recently announced purchase of Day Force" by the private equity firm Thoma Bravo. This suggests a potential discrepancy regarding its current ownership status or the timing of the reported acquisition.
