Why teams connect InterSystems IRIS and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from InterSystems IRIS: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers from Workday into Persistent Classes, Globals, Namespaces, Stored Procedures in InterSystems IRIS and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against InterSystems IRIS, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Replicate IRIS tables to Postgres so application teams can build against a familiar database
  • Sync operational tables in IRIS bi-directionally with a CRM so business teams work on IRIS-backed data without SQL access

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on InterSystems IRIS; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Workday.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in InterSystems IRIS propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in InterSystems IRIS as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between InterSystems IRIS 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.

InterSystems IRIS objects Workday objects
Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems.
