Overview
Zero-Copy Data In leverages Workday Prism data management tools to bring zero-copy external data into Workday. Unlike traditional Prism ingestion, which copies data into Workday, Zero-Copy Data In enables customers to query external data where it resides, without physical movement and copying of data.Example Use Case
Total Cost of Labor Analysis with Zero-Copy Data Blending:
Leadership requires a detailed analysis of the total cost of labor across three dimensions: Base Pay, Benefits (Workday data), and Stock Compensation (external data stored in Snowflake).The traditional method of extracting sensitive Workday data for analysis in third-party applications presents a significant security risk.
Zero-Copy Data In solves this by enabling the secure blending of Workday data with external data (Stocks from Snowflake) to create a comprehensive visualization, eliminating the need to move sensitive labor data out of Workday.
