Our organization is evaluating migration from on-premise to Workday cloud deployment, and I’m particularly concerned about warehouse inventory synchronization performance. Currently, our on-prem system syncs inventory data from 12 warehouses every 15 minutes with decent reliability.
Before we commit to cloud migration, I’d like to hear real-world experiences regarding sync speed and reliability differences. Our business heavily depends on accurate, near-real-time inventory visibility for order fulfillment. Any performance degradation could impact our customer commitments.
Has anyone migrated warehouse management to Workday cloud and can share insights on sync performance changes? Specifically interested in latency, failure rates, and overall business impact.
One aspect not mentioned yet is API rate limiting in cloud. Workday cloud has different throttling policies than on-premise unlimited connections. We had to redesign our sync strategy to batch updates more efficiently. This actually improved our overall architecture.
These are helpful perspectives. Did any of you experience initial performance issues during the migration transition period? I’m trying to plan for potential disruptions to our fulfillment operations.
We migrated to Workday cloud last year. Sync performance actually improved for us - went from 15-minute cycles to 10-minute cycles with better consistency. Cloud infrastructure handles peak loads much better than our old on-prem servers could.
Transition period is critical. We recommend parallel running for at least 2-4 weeks where both on-prem and cloud sync simultaneously. This lets you validate cloud performance without business risk. Most organizations see 10-20% performance improvement in cloud once optimized, but initial weeks can have tuning issues.
