STORIES & SOLUTIONS FOR THE MODERN BUSINESS USER

A travel-inspired tale of integrating Workday with Snowflake for analytics that don't miss their flight.

You Can’t Make Decisions If Your Data Misses Its Connection

After two weeks of airports, boarding zones, and frantic luggage Tetris across Europe, one thing became painfully clear: Even the best plans fall apart when something doesn’t arrive on time — like your data... or your suitcase in Milan.

Whether you’re planning a trip or building executive dashboards, you need your essentials in one place, ready to go. And when your data is still stuck at the departure terminal (a.k.a. Workday), no amount of visualization magic can save the day.

People are traveling to new destinations now more than ever. When travelling, one of the decisions you make is whether to sightsee without a guide or enlist people familiar with the city to show you around. Exploring a new city on your own has its advantages, and you'll likely have a good time, but using a local guide will ensure you have a great time and don't take any missteps along the way. Local guides know the dos and don'ts of the area, the best places to eat, speak the local language, and will help you get the most out of your time in this uncharted territory!

Live on Workday and wondering how you can get the most out of your platform? Here are four enhancements to take advantage of now.

These configuration changes allow an administrator to better organization application questions and have more control of what is collected from the student applicant.

Have you ever looked at that thing directly in front of you and just exhaled the word “Ugh” with a big sigh? I know I have, and I am pretty sure we all have at some point.

In December, I approached a friend about doing the 75 Hard challenge with me. I wanted to do a personal reset and knew that I needed an accountability partner if I was going to have even the slightest chance of being successful. She agreed and on January 2, we started our 75 Hard journeys.

Whether your higher education institution is considering moving to Workday, mid-implementation, or a long-time Workday customer looking to get the most ROI, you want to know everything you can about the system. What functionality is available or coming soon? Can it meet all of our organization’s needs? How have institutions like ours leveraged Workday and what best practices can they share? TIPs can give you these answers and more! 

As organizations running Workday prepare for the upcoming Workday Release on March 9, now is the time to begin preparing for the changes to come. Functionality your team may be accustomed to using may change or be removed. One function that we know clients will miss is Workday’s Benefits and Pay worklets. Learn what your team can do now to prepare for deprecation to prevent gaps in your organization’s operations.

To drive the greatest value from Workday, many organizations opt for a partner for ongoing support. Application Management Services (AMS) can extend your internal team, provide access to specialized skills, and offer flexibility for ongoing support and optimization for your organization.

Whether you have just selected Workday, are about to go live, or are a long-time customer, it is mission critical to develop and continually refine a long-term optimization strategy to maximize your organization’s investment in Workday.
