The Role of NSCs

  • Providing initial internal triage and context for issues before they reach Workday.
  • Submitting and managing support cases.
  • Partnering with Workday experts to prioritize critical issues and coordinate testing or validation.
  • Communicating updates and resolutions back to your internal stakeholders.

Having dedicated internal liaisons streamlines the support process by providing trusted coordination, clearer context, and proactive guidance to address every concern effectively:

  • Ensuring alignment: Support works directly with people who understand your specific configuration, processes, and priorities.
  • Accelerating resolution: Providing clear, consolidated information improves case quality and speeds up the time it takes to find a fix.
  • Maintaining internal control: You retain full control over how and when issues are escalated and communicated internally.
