For Workday®, providing the tools for customers to integrate their tenants with other business platforms is an integral element of its services. The Workday® Cloud Integration platform provides integration services in three ways:

- pre-built connectors for integrations with payroll processors, benefits providers, and many other external platforms.
- Enterprise Integration Builder, a simple step-by-step integration tool for business users to create simple custom integrations without programming; and
- [Workday® Studio](https://blog.phenomecloud.com/featured-blogs/error-handling-best-practices-in-workday-studio), a comprehensive graphical integration tool for developers who need to build sophisticated integrations.

Workday® runs on a multi-tenant platform, which means it must govern integrations to ensure that they do not create bottlenecks and recursive operations that will affect performance. Following integration [best practices](https://blog.phenomecloud.com/featured-blogs/workday-studio-best-practices) will help you create efficient, streamlined integrations that avoid a rule violation that will terminate the run.

Besides processing time, file size, and memory usage limits we discuss in our [best practices guide](https://blog.phenomecloud.com/featured-blogs/workday-studio-best-practices), Workday® Cloud Integration also enforces scheduling limits. Workday®’s integration scheduling tool is a simple form that allows you to run a process

- immediately,
- once at a time you specify, or
- on a recurring basis: daily, weekly, or monthly. You can select specific single or multiple days of the week or days of the month.

The interface does not allow hourly scheduling, but in special cases, Workday® may create multiple daily schedules for you.

To prevent users from inadvertently creating schedules that affect performance, Workday® imposes the following scheduling limits.

- A maximum number of seven simultaneous Studio integrations and Outbound EIBs with custom XSLT transformation per tenant.
- A time limit of two hours for any packaged integrations/Studio integrations. The server will terminate any integrations running beyond two hours.
- No more than five scheduled runs after the end of the next calendar year.

**Workday® Cloud Integration is a well-designed tool for connecting your enterprise applications. Its rules help avoid many of the problems that plague integrations that are not well-designed. You can do even more by following recommended practices in your integrations.**
