Integration Cloud Connect represents a portfolio of integration products designed to complement Workday core business
applications by providing pre-built connections to third-party applications and services. Each integration is deployed in
the Workday Cloud, which in turn gives you all the benefits of a fully hosted and managed application. Customers can
enjoy integration solutions that are versioned and stable, as well as kept up to date with the latest infrastructure, tooling,
application changes, and vendor changes (where applicable).
Integration Cloud Connect solutions fall under two main categories: Packaged Integration and Connectors.
Packaged Integrations: A packaged integration is a fully designed end-to-end integration to a specific named third-
party application or service. When a packaged integration is deployed, the specific business functions between the
two systems are configured with no additional coding required. The packaged integrations are managed just like any
other Workday application, and are kept up to date with the same overall Workday update schedule. Updates include
reacting to Workday core applications—for compliance as well as additional application features—as well as updates
to the latest tooling and infrastructure. In addition, Workday works with the third-party partner to manage a joint
roadmap to ensure the integration is kept up to date as the third-party application evolves.
