2019 – Workday Financial Data at Scale: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Presentation Summary

Arizona State University’s journey to extracting data from Workday has been a long and winding one. What seemed doable at first, became difficult once live data was being loaded and soon became out of control. This presentation will discuss the patterns and tools we adopted to get this Workday data tamed—what worked well and what we had to partition into six thousand RaaS calls to work. Once we had the data in our Redshift Data Warehouse, there was still work to be done to do to keep our users happy.
