Workday

Unlock Rapid Insights from Workday

Unlock rapid insights by leveraging high-performance query and calculation capabilities on your Workday data. Simba’s drivers seamlessly integrate Workday’s cloud-based data into your favorite analytics tools like Microsoft Excel, Logi Symphony, Power BI, QlikView, Tableau, and more. Since Workday data structures can be complex, the SQL Connector automatically generates schemas on the fly, mapping intricate data into relational tables to provide a straightforward SQL interface to your Workday data. Advanced schema refinements are possible through the connector’s features, allowing for tailored data views.

High-performance data access is achieved through Simba SQL Engine’s built-in Collaborative Query Execution (CQE), ensuring that filters and aggregation operations are efficiently passed directly to Workday. This minimizes processing within client applications or intermediary systems, resulting in faster data retrieval and reduced load times. With full support for OAuth 2.0 authentication and SSL encryption, you can securely access real-time Workday data, empowering your organization to make data-driven decisions swiftly and confidently.
