Workday
Migrate, Integrate and Govern Workday Data
Move worker, compensation, benefits, time and talent data into or out of Workday, keep Workday synchronized with other applications, and archive what's retired.
Data Solutions for Workday HCM and Payroll
Workday implementations involve moving data in from a legacy HCM or payroll system, keeping Workday synchronized with downstream applications once live, and — less often discussed — occasionally moving data back out of Workday when an organization changes platforms or needs to archive a retired tenant.
SyntraETL handles all three directions with the same connector and transformation approach: effective-dated worker history, multiple employments, compensation, benefits, time and absence, talent and learning, and the documents and attachments that go with them.

Workday Integration and Data Governance
Where Workday needs to stay synchronized with a downstream application — payroll, benefits administration, a data warehouse — SyntraETL runs scheduled, incremental or event-driven interfaces. See Enterprise Data Integration for the ongoing-sync pattern.
Data quality and reconciliation run throughout: source counts are checked against target counts at the record, field and control-total level, and sensitive fields can be masked via DataVault before data reaches a non-production environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SyntraETL migrate data into Workday, or only out of it?+
Both. The same connector and transformation approach handles data moving into a new Workday tenant during implementation, and data moving out of Workday into another platform or an archive.
How is Workday-to-Workday different from a standard migration?+
It usually isn't a separate pattern — Workday-to-Workday moves (for example after a divestiture or tenant consolidation) use the same extract-transform-load-reconcile discipline as any other migration, just with Workday as both source and target.
Can Workday data be masked before it reaches a non-production environment?+
Yes, through DataVault's data masking capability — sensitive fields (compensation, national ID numbers, banking details) can be masked while preserving referential consistency for testing.
