Ryan Belcher founded Automate INT to change the way Workday Integrations are deployed. Over 25 years of developing integrations (10 years specifically in Workday Integrations), studying and learning from the best thought leaders in Software (thank you Andy Hunt, Dave Thomas, Scott Hanselman and many others), Ryan decided that Workday Integration Development needed to change. The current model is set up to benefit the consultancy.
This isn’t as bad as it sounds. Good consultancies provide decent service. They develop people into consultants, giving them a good career. They solve problems and generally get things to work after enough time and money is spent. But it’s not the best model.
If you’re a customer that uses Workday, developing junior consultants into senior consultants is not your priority. And you don’t want a solution that works many months and change orders in the future. You want to leverage the best knowledge and tools to solve your problems as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Customers want to save money on integrations. The current environment gives you 3 possible solutions:
Use a less experienced consultant that we can pay less
Use a consultant we can pay less because they live in an area with a lower cost of living (i.e., offshoring)
Give the consultant less hours to solve the problem, but not more knowledge or better tools to solve it with.
Generally these solutions result in a lower quality, so you can spend less for your integrations but get an inferior product.
Good Software Engineering is about using better knowledge and better tools to deliver a better product at a lower cost.
Automate INT specializes in specific integrations because we’ve developed those integrations many times and know all the nuances. We ask the right questions during discovery because we know the pitfalls you’re likely to encounter. We know which solutions work best for each situation because we’ve implemented them before.
The best tooling allows developers to avoid low value, error prone tasks by having a computer do them. Unfortunately, no one has spent much time building tooling for these aspects of Workday Integrations. Creating and migrating Integration System Security Groups (ISSGs) is still a low value task that takes a lot of time. Consultancies give these tasks to Junior employees who tend to make mistakes, both because they’re inexperienced and because the task is mind-numbing. Automate INT developed tools to make these tasks both more efficient and more accurate.
Better knowledge and better tools lead to a better product at a lower cost.
Automate INT provides Workday Integration development services at an unmatched level of quality and efficiency. .
