This Deployment Guide provides instructions that will assist in the process of
deploying the Workday to/from TechWolf Skills Integration, including detail on
the configuration and deployment of the integration in the customer’s Workday
tenant. The intended audience for this document is the Integration Implementer.
The Integration has been designed, developed, tested, documented, and deployed
by TechWolf with Workday’s guidance and oversight. The integration facilitates
the flow of data required between Workday and TechWolf Skills or specific use
case(s) and is not intended to address all use cases customers may be interested
in. The customer benefits by receiving pre-built, pre-tested, documented,
partner-maintained integrations that minimize implementer’s effort as compared
to custom integrations for the specific use case(s) addressed.
TechWolf and Workday are partnering to enhance skill management within
organizations. TechWolf leverages data from various sources, including business
systems like JIRA and Confluence, to infer skills. These inferred skills are
seamlessly integrated into Workday skill profiles, providing a comprehensive and
real-time view of employees’ skills. The integration also enables profile
synchronization between TechWolf and Workday, ensuring that both platforms’
updates are consistently reflected.This can be further facilitated within the familiar environment of MS Teams,
where employees can either be notified of or validate newly suggested skills.
This integration does not depend on the MS Teams Bot; any other skill validation
approach can be used. The integration is agnostic to the skill validation.Key benefits:
TechWolf synchronizes employee skill profiles across all relevant systems,
harmonizing skills across all systems.
The accurate and up-to-date skills data in Workday can be used for downstream
purposes in the system, e.g. Talent Marketplace and Learning.
As TechWolf does not rely on manual assessments, we increase employee adoption
to your talent marketplace with automated skill profiles.
To minimize the impact on Customers, Software Partners, and Workday, Workday
Software Alliances only requires Software Partners to update API versions in
their integrations when not doing so will result in meaningful impact on a
current or future Customer. Given that Workday’s approach to API updates expects
that updates are backward compatible (with few exceptions), API version updates
are rarely required for a previously badged integration.However, Workday reserves the right to require a partner to update an
integration to the latest API version if the current version is negatively
impacting a joint customer or is resulting in unnecessary support and/or
maintenance effort. We also strongly encourage partners to take the opportunity
when making other updates to their integration to also move to the latest
version of any API’s leveraged.
Certified Integration: An integration system developed by TechWolf that
enables the data flow between Workday and TechWolf. Certification is achieved
after meeting all requirements from Workday.
Configurable Security Policy: The Configurable Security Policy describes
the access required for each Integration System User and permissions needed
for the integration to function.
Integration Implementer(s): The individual or group of individuals
responsible for deploying the integration. Workday generally recommends that
the customer engage the appropriate Workday Certified Consultants when
deploying any integration.
SkillEngine API: The TechWolf API. This is the TechWolf system where
skills data is stored, calculated, and used for related skills functionality.
Interaction works through the REST API.
Skill Profile: The set of skills of an Employee.
Customer Skill Sources: Implies all customer platforms, integrations, and
data that can serve as a source of skill information. Think of learning
platforms, Workday itself, and even systems like Jira and Confluence.
