True SaaS Recently, Kane Frisby - our Chief Strategy Officer - wrote this: Workday customers and prospects are tech savvy. They get it. Power of One. True SaaS. Modern and innovative architecture. Sustainable Technology and Processes. It's second nature to a Rising attendee. We gel so well with the Workday Rising attendees, simply because we get it, too! I get to meet so many Dovetail and Workday customers and come away with so many new connections, all with meaningful and rich conversations. I believe the key to the success of the Rising events is the culmination of Workday Customers, Prospects, Employees, and Partners - coming together for the same purpose - delivering value to HR, Finance and Employees.

Beg forgiveness or ask permission??? So, this comes up a lot in life and in business. With my wife, I tend to do both really, very selectively picking my battles. In my profession, I will also do both. Pushing the envelope - so to speak. How many of us do this? Recently I came across a professional, who in my opinion, pushed a little too far, at the cost of ethics. My question is then, when we knowingly push the boundaries, knowing that what we have said is not true, knowing that we will just come up with a wordy apologetic email, call, or post... does this, in your mind, seem to be lying or do you believe you are simply pushing boundaries?

Which one will own the problem and drive through to resolution, and not just point fingers? Continued Commitment With a…

We're wrapping up a Workday integration via their web services. The objects we're dealing with in the web services calls to Workday contain a lot of information in very deep object graphs that are not necessarily initialized. I learned a couple of new tricks this time around with web services that makes the consumption and related testing of these objects relatively painless. To be clear, you'll likely run into this scenario working with any web services in .NET. I just happened to be working with Workday web services when I decided to write this post. The first thing I need to do is get the Workday web services response object mapped to a type for all of my code to consume. I don't have any interest at all in writing a ton of left / right code that looks like this: public…
