Workday's Business Process Framework provides configuration, execution and monitoring of all the business processes and related real-world events managed in Workday. Configuration is code-free, allowing business users to continually define and alter the business processes specific to their organization without spending the resources typically involved with workflow configuration and maintenance.
Traditional enterprise applications typically focused on the automation of transaction processing and the associated reporting around these transactions. The linking of these transactions to end-to-end business processes and the automation of the related reviews and approvals wasn't contemplated in the core architecture of these systems. It was added as an afterthought. The result: expensive, inflexible, code-heavy add-ons and customizations.
Workday's business services include not only definitions for business transactions ("events") but also the workflows and processes these transactions link together("business process definitions"). These business process definitions can be configured and adjusted on the fly without coding or Workday's involvement. This ensures that the reality of the business is supported in Workday at a fraction of the cost and headache of traditional applications.
Workday's Business Process Framework is a complete set of services for configuring, executing and monitoring both the out-of-the-box business processes that Workday provides and the processes the business has configured to meet its specific needs:
