Workday Primary Use Case

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.
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.
If you're searching for a comprehensive HR solution that centralizes all of your personnel information, then Workday is definitely worth considering. It offers a wide range of features and integrations that can be incorporated into the system.

It's for absence management. For platform and feedback management, both for myself and for my coaches. We use it for performance, in general, across the company. It's for onboarding.
For example, I've been provided with monthly pay slips through Workday, I can have available all the pay slips and other information, personal information, such as certificates for tax and personal purposes. Everything is in Workday as far as personnel is concerned.
