The first annual Workday DevCon launched into the digital stratosphere July 21, 2021. It was a big-time virtual victory for many organizations looking to enhance their Workday experience. But the success story doesn’t stop there. The Strada development team was a huge hit at the Workday Hackathon a few days later, placing in the top 10.

DevCon was designed to give Workday customers a chance to learn more about the capabilities and possibilities of Workday Extend. Additionally it gave bright minds a chance to collaborate with other Workday partners. Furthermore developers, builders, and IT professionals got connected to the insights and innovations they needed to help them accelerate their digital transformations. Also by extending their Workday experience, participants gained the skills to build and deploy apps that make businesses run better. Read more about Workday DevCon.
The Strada team took part in the sponsored session, Optimize Apps the Right Way: App Analytics. This session was all about the ways Workday improved app analytics to help developers manage their application as well as debug any issues.
Strada apps in action
The Hackathon happened July 23-25. This competitive showdown gave teams of developers from across the industry the chance to build their own apps, then test the functionality of their newly created solutions. The three teams of Strada app pros demonstrated a few new innovatively interactive approaches to some common Workday functions. Subsequently the rest is top-10 history.
Check out the visionary brilliance of the Strada team’s Workday Hackathon apps:
Email and manager feedback
This fun and engaging app provides incentives (points) to workers for logging in and interacting with Workday. The concept: When a user fills out daily surveys, submits timesheets on time, or completes other Workday tasks, they earn points redeemable for rewards. The app also gives managers and administrators a real-time window into the engagement levels of their workforce. That’s what we call a “win-win.”
This interactive functionality allows workers to forward email feedback to an address that then places it into Workday, giving managers a screen to provide mass feedback to their teams. Communication breakdowns — solved!
eCommerce store
With this handy app, customers can buy goods directly from Workday through the Customer Portal, connecting directly into Workday Inventory and the Customer Invoice process. It’s a seamless ecommerce experience built on exceptional efficiency.
