# Overview

# Job Skill Sync Integration with Workday

This Deployment Guide provides instructions that will assist in the process of
deploying the Workday - TechWolf Job Skill Sync 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.

## Integration

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.

## Functional Objective

TechWolf wants to enhance skill management within organizations. TechWolf
leverages data from various sources, including business systems, 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.

Besides skill presence or absence, the integration also synchronizes the needed
skill proficiency and the skill criticality (whether the skill is marked as
`required` for the job in Workday) of the jobs' skills.

**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 within Workday, e.g. Talent
  Marketplace.

## Important Information

### Software Partner API Versioning

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.

## Glossary of Terms

* **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
  skill 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, and Workday itself.
