Why teams connect Amazon Redshift and Workday

Land the financial records from Workday in Amazon Redshift continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers, Organizations, Positions from Workday into tables in Amazon Redshift in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Amazon Redshift can be written back to fields in Workday where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Feed customer 360 tables built in Redshift to support and success platforms.
  • Centralize CRM, ERP, and product data in Redshift so analysts join it with warehouse tables.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Amazon Redshift gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Workday arrive in Amazon Redshift as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

Revenue joined with everything else

Analysts combine Workday's financial records with product, marketing, or operational data already in Amazon Redshift for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.
