Workday Primary Use Case

The primary use case of the solution is to manage our HR items, such as talent and learning, professional development, compensation, requesting time off, PTOs, and sick days.
View full review »I am referring to a specific use case in terms of implementation. We are currently implementing Workday as our entire HRMS solution. This means that all employee-related data will be stored in Workday.
Internally, we are currently using ReadyHR. However, we plan to migrate all employees to Workday so that we can manage their entire hire-to-retire lifecycle on a single platform. This includes onboarding, compensation, transfers, and other employee-related activities and events.
The goal is to manage our entire workforce on Workday. At this point in time, payroll processing is handled internally by another application. However, we plan to implement the Workday payroll module in the future. This will allow us to process payroll directly through Workday.
However, for our global go-live, we will only be implementing the core HR modules.
I have a genuine fondness for this tool. It's user-friendly and has been immensely beneficial in creating a unified repository for all our work-related information. Whether it's vendor selection procedures or simplifying our lives through data analysis and comparisons, it undeniably adds substantial value to our work, aiding us in strategic decision-making.

Workday provides a number of offerings. I've seen it primarily being used for human capital management, which includes onboarding, the entire employee lifecycles from recruiting to offboarding, payroll, benefits, absence, and time tracking.
Unlike some of its competitors such as PeopleSoft, Oracle, or SAP, Workday is cloud-based. Workday is built natively in the cloud, and you're always on the most recent version.
In terms of the cloud provider, they do have their own data centers. They've got one in Portland. They've got one in North Carolina, one in Dublin, Ireland, and maybe one or two at other places. I have heard that ultimately the underlying technology is AWS, but I'm not certain of that.
Technically, it's a hybrid model. Their enterprise bus model is such that technically you share server resources with other customers. A lot of customers don't actually know that, but if we're all running a lot of integrations or doing a lot of data processing at once, it's possible that the server could be impacted, and whoever is providing the maintenance would have to then throttle and pull resources from somewhere else. However, most customers don't experience any type of real performance issues, and then from a security standpoint, even though they're shared server resources, everything is of course constrained to just that particular customer. No other customer could view a separate customer's data or things of that nature.

The primary use case will be different for each company, but we use it for HTM and reporting. We use it to consolidate your HR system into one source of data. That's generally why people want to implement Workday, so they can have one source of data for better collaboration and reporting and C-level reports, stats and things like that.

Workday is used for a combination of things, such as looking at new opportunities, for example, the company publishes openings that are available to users. It is a place where employee profile content is housed so that other people in the company can be discovered and understand the organizational structure.

We use Workday for our employee onboarding and their entire lifecycle. We try to use certain aspects of Workday, such as currency management. For example, if they put in their expenses and they need to have them reimbursed, we use Workday.
Before the onboarding process, they have the hiring process, then they enter the recruitment phase. Once the recruitment is complete in Workday, they have to create a profile for these employees in the system.
The main data will always be in Workday. You are using it as a CRM.
