#69: From 4 Hours to Fully Automated: Real Orchestration Use Cases, with Ethan Jones
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Workday Orchestrate is quickly becoming one of the most important tools in the Workday ecosystem, but many teams haven’t fully explored what it can do. In this episode, Keith sits down with Ethan Jones to walk through real-world use cases, including how his team automated a process that used to take four hours every week.
They also dive into practical lessons learned, from using WQL to improve data handling, to debugging strategies, and how AI tools like the Deployment Agent and LLMs are changing how Workday work gets done. If you’re still relying heavily on Studio or manual processes, this conversation will give you a clear path forward.
