Echelon
I’ve read your tenant. Three questions before I plan:
- Should offers above a salary band route to Finance?
- Do UK requisitions follow the same approvals?
- Which background check vendor do you use?
Finance approves offers over $180k. UK uses the same approvals. Background checks go through Sterling.

- Design requisition, offer, hire and background check BPs
- Security for recruiters and hiring managers

02 / Stabilize
Get through hypercare without the fire drill.
When real data hits, Echelon triages failed integrations, misrouted approvals and access gaps, and documents why your tenant was built the way it was, so your team isn’t lost when the partner rolls off.

I can reuse most of your UK setup. Two questions:
- Does the works council need to approve transfers and terminations?
- Should time tracking move into Workday or stay in the current system?
Ask Echelon to research, plan, or build.

Rebuild years of tech debt.
Echelon’s process graph shows how work actually flows through your tenant and the systems around it. Then the AI workforce cleans up what nobody uses and nobody owns, with your approval.

Two checks first:
- Germany’s works council still needs HR Partner review. Keep it for Germany only?
- Should the ServiceNow ticket open at approval or on the last day?

Understand your tenant.
Echelon reads your live tenant before it changes anything: business processes, condition rules, security groups, calculated fields, reports and integrations, so every recommendation starts from what is actually there.
The Hire BP for Germany routes to the HR Partner through 3 condition rules.
Which of those were changed after go-live?
Ask Echelon to research, plan, or build.
Turn requests into stories.
A one-line ask becomes a build-ready story. Echelon asks the scoping questions, surfaces what already exists, and writes the acceptance criteria.
Internal transfers in EMEA need HR Partner approval when pay changes by more than 10%.

FAQ
Questions we get asked.
The ones that come up in almost every first conversation with a Workday team.
How do you connect to our Workday?
Through a simple API connection. Echelon runs as a dedicated integration user over Workday’s standard APIs, with only the security groups you grant it. There’s nothing to install, and most teams are connected in about 10 minutes.
Will Echelon change anything in production?
Not on its own. Changes are built and tested in your sandbox first, and nothing is migrated to production until a person on your team approves it.
Which parts of Workday does Echelon cover?
HCM, Payroll, Financials, Recruiting, Absence, Time Tracking, integrations and reporting. Echelon reads the business processes, condition rules, security and calculated fields behind each one.
How does Echelon help with Workday’s releases?
It runs an impact check in your preview tenant, flags the reports, integrations and business processes each release touches, and tests them before go-live.
Does Echelon replace our implementation partner?
It doesn’t have to. Some teams use Echelon to cut partner hours, others run it alongside their partner so the work gets done faster and documented as it goes.
Is our data used to train models?
No. Your data isn’t used to train models, every action is logged back to the person who asked for it, and you choose US or EU hosting.
