Why Use “Boomerang” Integrations?
Workday-to-Workday (“Boomerang”) integrations allow you to pull data from Workday and use it to automate processes that would otherwise have to be done manually in the UI.
This simple statement belies the underlying power of Boomerang integrations. They can be used to eliminate non-value adding tasks from HR’s plate. Doing so allows HR to focus on the tasks that allow an organization to grow: Recruiting, Talent, Succession, etc.
Some examples of tasks we’ve automated with Boomerang integrations:
- Rescinding future dated business processes for Terminated workers, like a future dated Referral Bonus payment.
- Ending Contingent Worker Contracts when they are past their contract end date.
- Creating Payroll Imputed Income records for fixed sign on bonus payments like an Amazon Gift card given to all new hires as a welcome gift.
- Mass Deleting Worker Documents.
- Generating Probation letter PDFs (using BIRT) sent to Worker Documents
- Removing all Security from a Position when a worker is Terminated.
- Resetting Rescinded Termination Worker’s System Access to Workday.
These and many other examples allow you to automate certain tasks for a more robust User Experience, without the drudgery of manually entering transactions.
