What is Workday? #
Workday provides enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources. Workday includes applications for financial management, human resources, planning, spend management, and analytics.
Why Should You Use the Workday Connector? #
The Workday connector provides visibility into the users in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure users are managed per your security policies
-
derive relationships between assets, users, applications, and data
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the Workday REST API and ingests only meta-data about Workday devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
