Workday Extend is a Workday technology platform that allows organizations to build and deploy new capabilities, apps, and solutions that run natively on Workday. These teams can work quickly using browser-based tools and develop with confidence having one source for data and security models.

Utilizing the power of a single Workday platform, Workday Extend delivers enterprise scale and speeds deployment. Apps developed with Workday Extend look and feel like a native Workday solution. Users can access them from their Workday home screens, dashboards, or related actions, thus simplifying access and ultimately increasing user adoption. The business functionality provided by Workday Extend apps interacts with core Workday data and processes, allowing customers to maximize their Workday investments by streamlining processes and consolidating systems within their IT environments.

Using Workday Extend, Deloitte can help organizations deploy new business capabilities for human capital management (HCM), financial management, or supply chain through two types of offerings.

1. As a service: In collaboration with your business and IT teams, we can build custom Workday Extend apps to meet your distinctive requirements and resolve your unique business challenges. This may involve augmenting the capabilities of your Workday HCM, Financials, or Supply Chain solutions, and/or automating offline or third-party processes and bringing them into the Workday platform. With this offering, we bring our deep industry, functional, and Workday technical expertise to bear on creating a bespoke solution that generates business value.
2. Pre-built offerings: Drawing upon our industry knowledge and global view, we have developed suites of Workday Extend apps that address challenges unique to specific sectors and functional areas. These solutions are pre-built and ready to go. Based on leading practices, they offer speed to value since they can be rapidly configured and deployed.
   
   With either option, organizations can benefit from Deloitte’s global reach and its combination of Workday technology know-how, deep industry experience, and market leadership in both finance and HR transformation. With staffing around the globe, including one of the largest pools of Workday-certified practitioners, Deloitte delivers 24/7 development, regional representation on teams, greater functional insights, and an effective blend of skills for producing business outcomes.

Whether you prefer to build or buy, you are harnessing the power of Workday’s top innovation partner (based on the number of Workday Hackathon wins), whenever you choose to leverage Workday Extend in conjunction with Deloitte. The Workday Hackathon is an event in which Workday employees, alliance partners, and customers come together and build creative and innovative applications using Workday Extend, Prism, and Integrations. The Hackathon features 24 hours of designing, building, networking, collaborating—and, of course, having fun. Teams are encouraged to leverage Workday Extend to develop applications showcasing innovation and customer focus, and possessing a certain “WOW” factor. Between 2017 and 2024, Deloitte has dominated these awards, earning 12 accolades across the top three categories for best overall, most innovative, and most popular among participants.

Deloitte’s commitment to innovation doesn’t stop there. Our Workday Extend teams frequently participate in labs and internal hackathons to come up with the next great innovation. For example, the Deloitte Idea-a-thon, which is a global, multi-technology effort, challenges teams to explore the latest trends, such as GenAI and ML.
