### Hyland’s value-add capabilities for Workday Financials

Hyland has been developing accounts payable (AP) solutions for Workday since 2012. In 2016, Hyland became a Workday Select Alliance Partner and began developing packaged offerings for AP. These packaged solutions, which leverage Hyland’s [OnBase](/en/solutions/products/onbase) and [Brainware](/en/solutions/products/brainware-intelligent-capture) products, allow users to capture, index, store and manage content faster for more efficient workflows, as well as view content directly through Workday interfaces. In 2018, Hyland’s AP packaged solution became Workday-certified.

#### Why Hyland for Workday Financials?

- **Faster payments:** Automatically validate AP documents and post invoices for payment.
- **Reduced manual touches:** Leverage intelligent capture to automatically extract, validate and match invoice data.
- **Greater visibility:** Enable native access to invoices and associated information.
- **Improved controls:** Implement exception-based workflows for processes outside of Workday, such as “Vendor Not Found.”
- **Scalability:** Process millions of invoices that require multiple line-item matching across various languages.
