Workday Launches Build, a Platform for AI-Powered Solutions

Workday has launched 𝐎𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞, a new framework for building and managing integrations, now generally available to all customers. Until now, most custom integrations relied on 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨, which was powerful but developer-heavy. The new 𝐎𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 platform provides a 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞, 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 way to build, test, and manage integrations faster and with less complexity. Orchestrate is available to customers with a 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 and can be accessed through the 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐞. At 𝐄𝟏 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, we help organizations review their integration landscape, plan the move from Studio to Orchestrate, and design a clear roadmap for adoption. Let’s make your Workday integrations simpler, smarter, and ready for the future. #Workday #WorkdayOrchestrate #WorkdayPartner #E1Consulting #Automation #DigitalTransformation #WorkdayIntegrations

🚫 6 Mistakes That Derail Your Workday Implementation — Before It Even Begins 💡 Transformation isn’t about software. It’s about readiness. 1️⃣ Skipping the “Why” Jumping into configuration without clarity on business outcomes turns transformation into a checklist exercise. Start with strategy, not screens. 2️⃣ Ignoring Change Management AI and automation succeed only when people do. Neglecting communication and adoption planning guarantees resistance later. 3️⃣ Underestimating Data Readiness Bad data → bad insights → bad decisions. Clean, structured, and integrated data is your foundation for HR analytics and AI enablement. 4️⃣ Overloading SMEs Your subject matter experts aren’t full-time Workday consultants. Protect their time or risk burnout and bottlenecks. 5️⃣ Overlooking Integration Strategy Workday doesn’t live in isolation. Failing to align integrations with payroll, talent, and analytics systems breaks the seamless experience and limits AI potential. 6️⃣ Treating Go-Live as “The End” The real value begins after launch — when insights drive smarter workforce strategies. 💬 Final Thought: Workday isn’t just an implementation — it’s an evolution of how HR thinks, acts, and leads. Invest in readiness today, and your transformation tomorrow will run itself.

Why Most Companies Miss Out on 60% of New Workday Features Workday rolls out new features twice a year But when I talk to admins or HR teams, most admit they use barely half of them It’s not because the features aren’t useful It’s because no one’s really tracking what gets adopted Teams read the What’s New in Workday report, maybe test a few items then move on to daily tasks And over time, great improvements just get lost That’s exactly why Workday built the Adoption Planning Hub A simple way to plan, assign, and track which features you’ve actually adopted across your tenant It gives clarity - Who’s reviewing what? - What’s still pending? - Which features are ready to go live? The best part? You don’t need a separate tracker. It’s all inside Workday. If you haven’t tried it yet, start with your last release update and see how many features are still untouched How does your team track new Workday feature adoption today?
