How to choose operational reporting for Workday

  1. 1

    Write down your requirements before any demo

    List the specific operational reporting outcomes you need — volumes, workflows, countries, systems in the loop — and rank them. Vendor demos are optimised to reframe your requirements around their strengths; a written list keeps the evaluation yours.

  2. 2

    Verify Workday integration depth, not existence

    Every vendor here “integrates with Workday” — the differences are in depth. Ask each to demo the integration against a realistic Workday configuration: your entity structure, your fields, your transaction volumes, and what happens when a sync fails.

  3. 3

    Check certification and marketplace status

    Look for Workday Marketplace listing / Workday certified integration and a current listing on Workday Marketplace. Certification doesn't guarantee fit, but it confirms the vendor keeps pace with Workday releases — uncertified integrations are where upgrade breakage concentrates.

  4. 4

    Reference-check companies that look like yours

    Ask for two reference customers on Workday at your size and in your industry, and ask them what broke in the first year. Implementation quality varies more than product quality in the operational reporting category.

  5. 5

    Model total cost over three years

    Compare subscription plus implementation plus internal effort — not headline price. Operational reporting for Workday pricing models differ (per user, per volume, per entity), so normalise every quote to your actual usage before comparing.
