Business Challenges
Why a Live Workday Tenant Still Needs a Support Plan
Go-live is the beginning of a Workday tenant's life, not the end of the work. Most requests for Workday Support Managed Services come in after one of these four problems has already started costing the business time.
No Workday-Certified Admin on Staff
The consultant who configured the tenant moved on, and the internal team inherited business processes, security groups, and integrations nobody currently on staff is certified to safely change.
Enhancement Requests With Nowhere to Go
HR and finance keep asking for new calculated fields, reports, and workflow tweaks, but there's no dedicated Workday development capacity to pick the backlog up.
Bi-Annual Releases That Break Things Without Warning
Workday's biannual updates land on the calendar whether or not anyone has tested them against your custom business processes, EIB integrations, and Extend applications first.
No Proactive Monitoring Until Someone Complains
Failed integration runs, stalled approval steps, and broken calculated fields usually surface only when an employee or manager reports something is wrong.
Our Workday Solution
How Mirketa's Workday Support Managed Services Model Works
Mirketa's Workday Support Managed Services engagement starts by treating your production tenant as a system that already works and needs to keep working, not a blank slate to redesign. We inventory your business process framework, security group architecture, EIB and Studio integrations, and custom report inventory so our support team understands your tenant on day one instead of learning it ticket by ticket.
From there, a named team of Workday-certified specialists handles day-to-day L1 through L3 ticket support, runs your sandbox and preview environments through a structured regression suite ahead of every biannual release, and works through your enhancement and report backlog on a predictable cadence rather than an ad hoc basis. This is Workday managed services delivered as an ongoing relationship, with the same specialists returning release after release instead of a rotating queue of unfamiliar agents.
Because monitoring runs continuously against your tenant, not just when a ticket is filed, configuration drift, failed integration runs, and broken calculated fields typically get caught and corrected before an employee or manager ever notices. That combination of steady-state administration and Workday managed services discipline is what keeps a tenant's original configuration intent intact for years, not just for the first two release cycles after go-live.

Routine tenant administration, security group updates, business process tuning, EIB monitoring, handled without you needing a full-time certified admin on staff.
Quarterly Business Reviews & Optimization Roadmap

Severity definitions, response targets, and escalation contacts agreed and documented before the first ticket is logged under the new arrangement.

Industry Use Cases
Workday Support Managed Services Across Industries
Every industry brings its own audit expectations and peak-period sensitivity to a live Workday tenant, which shapes how we prioritize monitoring and release testing.
Why Mirketa
A Support Partner Built for a Tenant That's Already Live
Plenty of partners will implement a new Workday tenant. Fewer are built specifically to keep an existing one healthy release after release.
Workday Certified Support Team
Every specialist assigned to your tenant holds active Workday certifications across HCM, Payroll, or Financial Management.
Named Specialists, Not a Queue
The same people learn your tenant's history and quirks, rather than a rotating group of unfamiliar agents.
SLA-Backed Response Commitments
Documented response and resolution targets by severity, tracked and reported on every quarter.
Release-Ready by Design
Every biannual Workday release is regression-tested against your specific configuration before it reaches production.
Security Reviewed, Not Just Maintained
Ongoing security group health checks catch drift and segregation-of-duties gaps before an audit does.
Flexible Engagement Scope
Scale from help-desk-only coverage up to full administration-as-a-service as your internal capacity changes.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Workday Support Managed Services
We define three severity tiers: P1 (production-down or payroll-impacting), P2 (a significant workflow disruption with a workaround), and P3 (a how-to question or minor issue), each with its own documented response and resolution targets agreed before onboarding.
A P1 is anything that stops a business-critical process outright: a failed payroll integration, a broken business process blocking hires or terminations, or a tenant-wide outage. P1 tickets get the fastest acknowledgment and are worked continuously until resolved.
We run your existing business processes, security groups, and integrations through a documented regression suite in your sandbox or preview tenant as soon as the release is available, well ahead of the production update weekend, so breaking changes are caught and fixed before employees see them.
P1 tickets are typically acknowledged within 15 to 20 minutes and worked continuously. P2 tickets are acknowledged within a few hours, and P3 requests are scheduled into the next available support cycle.
Most clients choose a monthly retainer scoped to expected ticket volume and support hours, with enhancement and report backlog work either included up to a cap or billed as a separate block of hours. We'll recommend a model based on your tenant's size and ticket history.
Typical onboarding runs two to four weeks, covering environment handover, a baseline health assessment of your current configuration, and SLA and escalation setup before steady-state support begins.
Both. Break-fix tickets are handled under your SLA, while enhancement requests, new reports, calculated fields, or configuration changes, are worked through a standing backlog on a predictable sprint cadence.
Yes. Most engagements start exactly this way. We run a baseline health assessment against the existing tenant, document what we find, and transition support without requiring a reimplementation.
