Workday excels at managing records and data, but what happens when your HR and finance teams need to access documents, contracts, and other content? Users are forced to leave their core workflows, creating inefficiencies and disrupting productivity.
Hyland for Workday changes that dynamic entirely. This unified integration embeds intelligent content services directly into Workday HCM and Finance, delivering seamless access to documents without ever leaving familiar Workday screens.
As an approved Built on Workday application, this solution transforms how organizations manage content across their most critical business processes - from employee onboarding to invoice processing.
Revolutionary Integration Architecture

The architecture delivers in-context access to documents directly within Workday screens. HR professionals can view employee records, contracts, and credentials without switching systems. Finance teams can process invoices, purchase orders, and supplier documents while staying within their familiar Workday environment.
