Deloitte, Consultant / Senior Consultant (Integrations), Workday, Human Capital, Consulting, UK
Role description
Every company, big or small, uses some of form of system to manage their employee data. Smaller companies may use a simple Excel spreadsheet or perhaps even a piece of paper, but larger organisations will require more sophisticated systems. These systems cover everything from recruitment, basic employee data processing, performance management and payroll.
Deloitte can add value by partnering with our clients to enhance their HR function. We do this through technology, allowing our clients to do these tasks quickly, efficiently and in a controlled environment. In recent years, this has been pushed to the forefront of our client’s minds and we have seen a rapid increase in demand for our expertise in the design and implementation of their HR Application solutions.
In recent years a new breed of ‘Cloud’ applications has entered the market, which focus on simple processes and enhanced user experience. Workday is a significant player providing HCM solutions and services to large national and multi-national clients. Our Workday team has a deep understanding of the software, and we help our clients to implement Workday.
A key role of our Workday team is to define and deliver a method for the movement of HR data to and from the Workday application. This service is provided by our Workday Integration team. Our Integration team analyses our client’s enterprise application ecosystem to assess the best approach for introducing Workday to fully support the client’s HR Transformation strategy. This team utilises a variety of tools to build custom and complex integrations to enable Workday to interact with other client systems. Workday Studio is one of these tools and is a powerful Eclipse IDE plug-in which provides developers the capability to both reuse available Workday Integration components and to create custom Java classes. Additionally, Workday includes other tools to support data movement and manipulation of the standard Workday XML output file through the use of programming technologies such as XSLT scripts
