Need inputs on discover document for AD and Workday

[sairamya15]

Hi All,

We need to integrate Workday (a trusted source) and Active Directory (also a trusted source, responsible for provisioning and deprovisioning) in our project. Initially, we must draft a document outlining discovery questions for both AD and Workday.

We kindly request assistance in sharing the document for discovery questions, focusing on new implementations and various use cases for both Workday and AD as soon as possible.

Any insights or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

## Integration Discovery Questions: Workday & Active Directory

### General Questions:
1. What are the primary objectives of integrating Workday and Active Directory?
2. What are the existing systems or applications that currently interact with Workday and Active Directory?
3. Are there any specific compliance or security requirements that need to be considered during the integration process?
4. Who are the key stakeholders involved in the integration project from both the Workday and Active Directory teams?

### Workday Integration Questions:
1. What data from Workday needs to be synchronized with Active Directory?
2. Are there any specific Workday modules or objects (e.g., employees, organizations, job profiles) that require integration with Active Directory?
3. How frequently should data synchronization between Workday and Active Directory occur?
4. Are there any data transformation or mapping requirements for data exchanged between Workday and Active Directory?
5. What authentication mechanisms are currently used within Workday, and how will they align with Active Directory during integration?

### Active Directory Integration Questions:
1. What Active Directory attributes need to be updated based on information from Workday?
2. Are there any specific security groups or access controls in Active Directory that need to be managed through Workday integration?
3. What are the user provisioning and deprovisioning processes in Active Directory, and how will they be automated or streamlined through Workday integration?
4. Are there any specific Active Directory schema extensions or custom attributes required for integrating with Workday?

### Use Case Specific Questions:
1. How will employee onboarding and offboarding processes be handled through the integration of Workday and Active Directory?
2. Are there any specific use cases such as role changes, department transfers, or employee terminations that need to be addressed through the integration?
3. What are the scenarios where real-time data synchronization between Workday and Active Directory is critical, and how will they be implemented?
4. How will changes in employee information such as name, job title, or contact details be managed and synchronized between Workday and Active Directory?

### Technical Infrastructure Questions:
1. What are the existing technologies or middleware platforms in place that will facilitate the integration between Workday and Active Directory?
2. Are there any network or firewall configurations that need to be adjusted to allow seamless communication between Workday and Active Directory servers?
3. What level of scalability and high availability is required for the integrated solution, considering potential future growth in user base or system usage?

Feel free to customize and expand upon these questions based on your specific project requirements and objectives.
