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 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 wants 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 jobs’ skills. The integration also enables profile
synchronization between TechWolf and Workday, ensuring that both platforms’
updates are consistently reflected. While TechWolf does not infer skill levels
or the required attribute for skills, it does sync these values between TechWolf
and Workday when the customer or another source provides them.Key benefits:
Effortless skill identification: Our solution streamlines skill identification for
job profiles by automatically extracting data from various sources (incl. Workday) and
leveraging our labor market data to infer and structure skills into profiles,
eliminating manual efforts.
Governance & maintenance made simple: Easily oversee and control your job skill profiles
within your job catalog through an intuitive interface. This setup supports
collaborative efforts among multiple owners simultaneously, while providing
tailored access to various user groups, ensuring a strong and effective
governance framework.
Skill synchronization & harmonization: TechWolf synchronizes job skill profiles across
all relevant systems, harmonizing skills across all systems.
Enriched downstream use cases: The accurate and up-to-date skill data in Workday can be used
for downstream purposes in the system, e.g. Talent Marketplace.
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.
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.
