Their Challenge
A local financial services client employs over 900 people across the globe. They decided to move their custom enterprise HR system to the cloud-based Workday Human Capital Management platform because it satisfied almost every one of their requirements to support the employee lifecycle. It did not however quite fit their compensation functionality requirements. In order to make the switch, they needed help figuring out how to execute the tricky integration between their legacy compensation system and Workday.
Our Approach
pod chose to use SQL Server Integration Services and developed clients for Workday’s REST API, using Custom Script tasks in C#. This made sense because the technology stack already had a broad footprint across the organization. The ease of managing and scheduling recurring tasks in SQL Server, plus pod’s deep integration experience made this an easy choice.
The Takeaway
Workday is a powerful platform, but nothing is ever perfect. Organizations who encounter obstacles to adopting Workday because of functional limitations should consider Workday’s substantial integration capabilities with legacy applications. pod has the know-how to make these powerful, straightforward APIs do what’s needed; we’ve done it before.
Deliverables
- A set of custom SQL Server Integration Services packages that:
- Consume Workday reports
- Submit compensation transactions to Workday through the Integration API
- An integrated HR compensation process merging cloud and on-premise systems
