We help you identify where innovation can drive the most value within your Workday environment.

Whether you're exploring Workday Extend, Built on Workday, or planning for future AI capabilities, we help you define a roadmap that aligns with your enterprise architecture and innovation strategy.

Our certified developers and architects design and build custom applications using Workday Extend and other platform tools. We focus on creating scalable, secure, and user-friendly apps that solve real business problems.

We also support deployment of Built on Workday apps through the Workday Marketplace.
Optimisation
Innovation doesn’t stop at go-live. We provide ongoing support to enhance, scale, and evolve your custom apps and integrations. Whether you need to update an Extend app to reflect new business rules, improve performance, or adapt to Workday platform changes, we ensure your solutions continue to deliver value. We also help you evaluate new innovation opportunities as Workday releases new capabilities, so your platform keeps pace with your business.
Your trusted Built on Workday partner
Built on Workday takes innovation further by offering apps that expand the functionality of Workday’s core applications. These apps are available through Workday Marketplace and operate natively within the platform. As an early adopter, Strada is committed to developing enterprise-grade apps that help organisations solve today’s challenges and prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities.
“We truly see Strada as an extension of our team and their partnership helps both our business and people to work better. As a very lean function, we can now focus on more strategic initiatives rather than just transactional tasks as well as delivering a much better service to the business.”

Frequently asked questions?
What is Workday Extend?
Workday Extend allows organisations to build custom applications that run within the Workday platform. These apps can use Workday data, security, business processes, and user experiences to support needs that are not covered by standard Workday functionality. This reduces reliance on third-party systems that add complexity and work for internal teams, creating a more connected and intelligent platform.

How can Strada support Workday Extend?
Strada helps organisations identify, design, build, deploy, and maintain Workday Extend applications. This includes assessing potential use cases, defining requirements, developing the application, testing it, preparing it for deployment, and providing ongoing support as business needs and the Workday platform change.
Strada has built more than 100 Workday Extend applications across a range of industries and business functions. With solutions designed to work seamlessly within Workday’s architecture, requiring no risky workarounds or bolt-on tools, for secure innovation that scales with the business needs.
When should an organization use Workday Extend?
Workday Extend may be a good fit when a business process needs more than standard Workday functionality but would benefit from staying connected to Workday data and workflows. It can help organisations bring manual or disconnected processes into Workday without adding another standalone application. Strada provides over 800 pre-built integrations that allow organisations to connect different data and systems to their Workday tenant, streamlining processes and avoiding added complexity. Contact Strada's expert team to explore Workday Extend solutions fitted to your organisation's needs.
What is the difference between Workday Extend and Built on Workday?
Workday Extend is the technology used to build custom applications within the Workday platform. Built on Workday refers to applications developed by approved partners and made available to multiple customers, often through the Workday Marketplace.
An organisation may choose a custom Workday Extend application for a specific business need or use a Built on Workday application when an existing solution already addresses that need.
Strada has an experienced team that can develop or integrate tailored Workday solutions that meet enterprise standards for performance, governance, and compliance. Contact Strada to discover what solutions fit your needs here.
