Databricks adds Workday Data Connect federation to Unity Catalog in Beta

Databricks has put Workday Data Connect federation into Beta in Unity Catalog, letting teams query Workday HR and finance data without copying it.

Workday Data Cloud customers get zero-copy, read-only access to the shared tables, with Databricks running queries and Unity Catalog governing access, lineage, and auditing.

Teams can combine current people and financial data with other enterprise data for analytics and AI, including Genie-powered natural-language exploration.
