Workday Extend
Workday Extend is a low-code/no-code development platform that allows organizations to build custom applications and integrations directly within the Workday ecosystem. It leverages Workday's core data, security, and business processes to create tailored solutions without requiring extensive coding expertise. This platform enables businesses to extend the functionality of their Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financial Management systems to meet specific operational needs.
Developers should learn Workday Extend when working in organizations that use Workday as their primary HR or financial system and need to customize or integrate it with other tools. It is particularly useful for building custom reports, automating workflows, or creating mobile apps that interact with Workday data, as it reduces development time and ensures compliance with Workday's security protocols. Use cases include developing employee self-service portals, integrating with third-party payroll systems, or enhancing analytics dashboards.
