Business Intelligence

Workday believes a business management system should provide the business intelligence you need without requiring you to buy a separate reporting tool. With Workday's HR software reporting tool, users at all levels can get or create reports using information relevant to them and their roles, all with minimal training and no IT support. With built-in business intelligence, your company can save costs and your employees can be more efficient.

Workday's Business Intelligence is designed to meet the specific needs of the power user and line manager, providing a straightforward user experience that line managers and HR partners can use to create their own reports without spending IT resources. Workday human resource management software enables managers and power users to get the answers they need to make decisions by providing:

• Hundreds of packaged reports. Workday's Business Services contain hundreds of packaged reports. These reports are accessible as related tasks in context as you navigate through search or from menus.
• Custom report creation. Workday customers can create their own reports or Worklets, using Workday's report writer, without having to go to a third-party reporting tool. Custom reports may be private or shared with one or a list of other users. Contextual reporting capability allows users to create reports directly from the data they are viewing on any Workday page.
• Embedded graphics. Packaged reports offer the ability to graph data instantly without having to export the HRIS data to Excel or some other system. All grids containing numbers can be converted to graphs at the push of a button. Worklets can be set to display grid data graphically by default, which allows managers and HR partners to do quicker analysis by being able to visualize data and therefore make faster decisions.
• No IT involvement required. Workday's built-in BI tools are simple and direct enough for managers and Human Resources partners to create their own reports without having to depend on or explain requirements to another person.
• Secure access to data. Reports are generated using the role-based se curity and business logic built directly into Workday's human resouce management software solutions. There is no direct ("SQL") access to data.

Actionable Reporting and Analysis

One of the most significant benefits of having a built-in Business Intelligence solution is the ability to take action immediately based on the information:

• Take action via links and related tasks. All reports and Worklets include the ability to click on a hyperlink to receive details about a piece of data on the report or to click on the related task icon to take action related to a piece of data on the report.
• Drill down on numbers. Select reports allow drill down on aggregate numbers (sums, counts, averages). Users click on the number to see details or click on an icon near the number to see dimensions in which they can drill down.
• Seamlessly link to personal productivity tools. All reports may be exported to either PDF or Excel with a single click.
