Hyland for Workday Continues to Evolve: Expanding Content Access and Automating Document Capture

[Jason_Lamon]

Over the past year, Hyland has continued to enhance Hyland for Workday, helping organizations connect content to business processes while reducing manual effort and improving information accessibility. Following recent enhancements such as support for EU-hosted environments, secondary search fields, and federated access to OnBase through Hyland Content Federation Service (CFS), the latest release introduces additional capabilities that expand content access and further automate document-centric processes.

Expanding Federated Content Access Across Hyland Repositories Including Nuxeo

Hyland for Workday now extends federated content access beyond OnBase to include content governed in both OnBase and Nuxeo.

Using Hyland Content Federation Service, organizations can securely access, view, capture, and manage content stored in either repository directly within Workday. Users can retrieve the information they need in the context of the business process they are supporting without switching applications or duplicating content.

This approach helps organizations:

• Extend the value of existing content management investments
• Maintain governance within the repository of record
• Reduce content silos across HR and finance operations
• Eliminate unnecessary content duplication
• Improve user productivity with a more seamless experience

By making governed content available directly within Workday, organizations can provide users with a unified content experience while preserving existing repository strategies and compliance requirements.

Simplifying Administration as Content Environments Grow

Hyland continues to enhance the administrative experience through the dedicated Configure Content Platforms page, which allows system administrators to manage and configure Content Federation Service connections from a centralized location.

Administrators can now:

• Manage and maintain CFS connections for supported repositories
• Configure federated access to both OnBase and Nuxeo content
• Define multiple repository sources for retrieval and import experiences
• Support different business processes without custom development

These capabilities provide organizations with greater flexibility as content ecosystems evolve, while establishing a scalable foundation for future expansion.

Automatically Capturing Documents from Workday HCM Processes

The latest release also introduces a significant enhancement for organizations looking to further automate employee-related document management.

For Workday HCM business processes, documents uploaded within Workday can now be automatically captured and ingested into Hyland repositories, including OnBase, Nuxeo, and Hyland Content Innovation Cloud.

Rather than requiring users or administrators to manually download and re-upload documents into a separate repository, Hyland can automatically store the content with the appropriate:

• Document classification
• Metadata
• Business context
• Audit history

This automation helps organizations streamline document management while ensuring employee records and supporting documentation are properly governed from the moment they are created or submitted.

Key benefits include:

• Reduced manual administrative effort
• Elimination of duplicate upload activities
• Improved consistency and accuracy
• Stronger governance and compliance controls
• Greater value from both Workday and Hyland investments

Connecting Content to Workday Processes

Workday serves as a system of action for HR and finance teams. Hyland serves as the system for managing the content that gives those actions context.

By combining federated access to governed content with automated document capture, organizations can reduce friction between systems, improve user experiences, and build a stronger foundation for compliance, operational efficiency, and future AI initiatives.

As organizations continue to modernize their HR and finance operations, Hyland for Workday helps ensure that content remains connected, governed, and accessible wherever business processes happen.
