Connection to Workday

Has anyone connected TM1 to Workday (Saas) in the Cloud? We are switching from Oracle to workday so I assume an ODBC connection is no longer an option. I would like to keep our drilldown capabilities if possible.

We are on version 10.2
Excel 2010
Windows Server 2008 R2

Thanks

If you are not going to have ODBC connectivity to Workday then you won't be able to utilize it for drill-thru in your TM1 cube(s). I wouldn't necessarily assume that you won't have ODBC connectivity. You should ask first.

I spoke with the Workday implementation consultant and there is no ODBC connection to Workday. They said I would have to use a webservice to get data.

Or have workday sent the data in a csv file and load into the database, in the same format as it existed before. This is what I do for some HCM data (we haven't moved to WD financials as yet):

Workday -> Monthly Report in csv format -> SFTP Server (Workday can place the file here) -> Informatica job -> Database -> TM1
