Why teams connect Azure Synapse Analytics and Ukg Ready

Land the people and organization records from Ukg Ready in Azure Synapse Analytics as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Ukg Ready can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Ukg Ready is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Azure Synapse Analytics next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off from Ukg Ready into tables in Azure Synapse Analytics continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Azure Synapse Analytics, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Ukg Ready where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate SaaS data alongside lake data so analysts join both through one SQL surface.
  • 02 Load CRM and ERP records into Synapse dedicated SQL pool tables for enterprise reporting.
  • 03 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.
  • 04 Import computed Earnings and deductions into UKG Ready payroll runs from a warehouse or external time-tracking system ahead of each pay period.

Common sync patterns

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Ukg Ready's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Azure Synapse Analytics for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

Fresh data instead of last night's load

Because changes stream continuously, reports query current workforce data rather than waiting for an overnight load window to finish.

Queryable history for planning and audit

A continuously synced copy in Azure Synapse Analytics gives you a durable, queryable record of how Ukg Ready's records change over time, for headcount planning and audit questions.

What you can sync between Azure Synapse Analytics and Ukg Ready

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Azure Synapse Analytics objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. External tables is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Views is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) Earnings and deductions can be imported into pay runs; Employee Payroll Runs (gross, net, taxes) read back for GL posting and analytics. Schemas is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Materialized views is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. SQL pools is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Tables (dedicated SQL pool) is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Synapse Analytics and Ukg Ready

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Azure Synapse Analytics Ukg Ready Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure Synapse Analytics for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on watermark columns.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ukg Ready through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Ready Azure Synapse Analytics Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Azure Synapse Analytics as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.

How the Azure Synapse Analytics and Ukg Ready connectors work

Azure Synapse Analytics

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS) with T-SQL for SQL pools; additional Spark and pipeline surfaces exist but syncs use the SQL endpoint
