Why teams connect Greenplum and Workday

Land the financial records from Workday in Greenplum 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 Positions, Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results from Workday into tables in Greenplum in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Greenplum 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

  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • Load operational data from CRMs, ERPs, and production databases into Greenplum for MPP analytics.
  • Publish segments, scores, and aggregates computed in Greenplum back into business tools where teams act on them.

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in Greenplum, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Workday where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Greenplum 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 Greenplum as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Greenplum and Workday

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.

Greenplum objects Workday objects
External tables Reference external files for bulk load paths alongside row-level syncs. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used.
Rows Read and written by key; distribution keys determine where rows live. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Schemas Namespace tables and control which objects a sync can see. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Tables Heap or append-optimized tables mapped directly to sync targets. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Partitions Large tables are commonly partitioned by date, which shapes incremental reads. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
