Santa Clara University has adopted Workday to manage student and program data, but needed more flexible reporting capabilities than Workday provides natively. The Institutional Research department turned to CData to relieve the pain of integrating Workday data with their custom database, using a solution that connected Workday to Tableau, R/RStudio, and other tools for analytics. By connecting directly to Workday, Santa Clara University can now automatically pull live and historical data into these tools, making it easier to analyze trends and improve student experiences. The CData Workday ODBC Driver provided a straightforward solution to address their integration challenges, allowing the university to work better with Workday.
