The unique requirements of a business are sometimes not addressed by off-the-shelf solutions, so custom-built apps are frequently required to cover the gaps. However, developing and maintaining a custom application can be expensive, and the end-product may not always feel and look like the systems customers are accustomed to.
Let’s introduce Workday Extend, which assists enterprises in developing safe, distinctive apps that closely resemble other Workday apps.
What is Workday Extend?
Workday Extend is a platform that allows users to increase the functionality of Workday’s core features. It serves as a tool for developing tailored applications for organizations meeting their business specific needs. With Workday Extend, one can leverage the Power of One in expediting development and providing a seamless user experience.
Workday Extend is composed of different app components that are used to generate the apps’ unique pages, appearances, and process logic. Presentation, Model, and Orchestration are the three primary components of the application.
Workday Extends apps are of two types: Internal Workday Extend apps which are created within the Workday platform and External Workday apps which are built outside of Workday, but it can still interact with it.
Why should Extend be your choice
Create Custom Applications:
Custom apps that are suited to your unique business requirements can be developed by you and your Workday partner and still operate on Workday. To manage your finances and human resources to a higher level, you can create pages, modules, tasks, and other elements that are customized.
Consistent User Experience:
Your unique applications will continue to provide a consistent user experience with Extend. Because your bespoke applications adhere to the Workday UI standards, they will appear and feel the same as the Workday standard functionality.
Interaction with Workday Data and External Data Sources:
Workday data and external data sources can be accessed by your new custom applications. Workday stores data as distinct business objects that are utilized with certain security domains and business processes. Workday and third-party systems’ event-driven and automated processes can be initiated by applications. Additionally, there may be third-party apps that access Workday data directly and operate independently of the tenant.
