Designed for Connectivity

Workday was started with integration as a core design principle along with the philosophy that connectivity to other applications and information should be easier than it is today. Workday is committed to helping customers with application integration through the strict use of open standards, complete integration solutions to leading vendors, and easy-to-use tools that solve common integration use-cases.

Workday Integration Network

The Workday Integration Network consists of a growing number of configurable integrations to complementary solutions that are created, executed, and maintained by Workday. Deployed in the Workday cloud, there are currently five sub-networks contained within the overall Workday Integration Network. Each sub-network links to partners who work with Workday to provide additional capabilities.

These networks are listed below, along with the types of integrations provided:

  • HCM Network - Extends Workday HCM by linking to partners that provide capabilities including: recruiting, time and attendance, and account provisioning (LDAP/Active Directory).
  • Payroll Network - Extends Workday Payroll by linking to partners that provide capabilities including: time and attendance, tax filing, direct deposit, and payroll connections to third-party payroll provider end points.
  • Benefits Network - Extends Workday HCM by providing connections to a growing catalog of benefits providers, including: health insurance, health and flexible spending accounts, defined contribution plans, life insurance, AD&D insurance, and COBRA administrators.
  • Financials Network - Extends Workday Financials by linking to partners that provide capabilities including: customer relationship management, electronic payments, and customer payments via credit card.
  • Spend Network - Extends Workday Spend Management by linking to partners that provide capabilities including: electronic payments, corporate card transactions, and support for 'punchout' to vendors.

Tailored Integrations

Because every company has different needs and uses different applications to meet those needs, some will need to connect to systems that are not yet part of Workday's networks. If the Workday Integration Network does not yet have a built-in integration to a particular vendor, Workday can still help you connect our solution to your critical business applications by building tailored integrations. By using our own standard integration tools, Workday is uniquely equipped to help your company ensure all of your systems are connected appropriately and adequately to keep your business up and running smoothly.

User-Built Integrations

Customers or partners may also take advantage of Workday's standard integration tools to build integrations with or without Workday's direct assistance. Workday provides several easy-to-use integration tools that facilitate the process of transferring data between systems. With Workday's tools, you can configure and test data export formats yourself to ensure accuracy and efficiency on your own, or leverage Workday's professional services team.

Workday Developer Network

The Workday Developer Network is an online community for developers to collaborate around our Workday applications and integrations. This developer network provides a variety of resources and training material on Workday Web Services (WWS) and the Workday Integration Tools as well as the opportunity to interact with the Workday Integration Team and other Workday customers. Get all the latest news relating to Workday's integration offerings and view the latest Workday Web Service API documentation, or take part in discussions on the forums, contribute an article, or share some useful code you've written.
