Workday

Simple, intuitive and no expertise required to quickly accomplish a task. These are the guiding design principles for Workday. Workday enterprise applications deeply engage people, not just solve business problems. That’s why Workday works like your favorite consumer website. It offers a delightful, informative, and simple user experience whether you’re on a desktop, tablet, or a mobile device. In fact, we believe mobile is a native part of the user experience and shouldn’t cost extra.

Application configuration and security design are essential for a successful enterprise application implementation, upgrade or deployment project. Project costs can overrun if application configurations are incorrectly documented or setup during key phase of the project such as analysis, design, configure, test and deploy. Risks, such as missed milestones and poor user adoption are increased if the ERP configurations fail the test of accuracy, validity and completeness. With the growing functionality of new releases, it is increasingly challenging to manage and secure thousands of complex configurations across multiple project environments without automated tools.

SafePaaS, with expertise in enterprise controls and business application can provide independent assurance over application security design and configurations to control project costs and risks. SafePaaS DataProbe™ can automate application configuration reports to document setups, compare configurations across multiple environments and assess the impact of new releases on customizations such as database objects, concurrent programs, form extensions, value sets, workflows, alerts...

Our application assurance services include a health check of access, transaction and configuration of your business applications. We work with control owners to remediate violations of organizational policies and control objectives. We can quickly remediate any application control deficiencies without burdening business process owners and IT staff by utilizing risk remediation tools such as Roles Manager to correct inherent risk in application security model.
