After go-live most organisations discover they need more Workday capability than one systems administrator can provide, but less than a permanent team. Dandee Consulting provides retained application managed services — a block of certified consultant days each month against an agreed backlog and response times.

What's included

What Our Managed Service Covers

You get named consultants who learn your tenant, not a ticket queue routed to whoever is free.

  • Configuration changes across HCM, Payroll, Absence, Time Tracking, Recruiting, Financials and Adaptive Planning
  • Business process design changes, condition rules and approval routing
  • Security administration — domain and business process policies, role assignment, segregation of duties reviews
  • Reporting and dashboards, including advanced, matrix and composite reports and calculated fields
  • Integration monitoring and maintenance for EIBs, Core Connectors and Studio integrations
  • Release management twice a year: impact assessment, regression and feature adoption advice
  • Backlog grooming with your product owner so days go to the highest-value work

What Our Managed Service Covers

Engagement Models And Indicative Pricing

  • Light retainer — a small monthly block for a stable single-module tenant.
  • Standard AMS — a larger monthly block with defined response times and a named lead consultant.
  • Project uplift — additional days for module rollouts or acquisitions without renegotiating the retainer.
  • Day rate — senior consultants from GBP 750 per day; retained blocks are priced below ad-hoc rates.

We size the retainer from your ticket history and module footprint. Unused days roll within the quarter rather than disappearing at month end.

Why Retained Support Beats Ad Hoc Hiring

  • Certified breadth across modules rather than one administrator carrying everything
  • Continuity — the same consultants keep the context between releases
  • Cover for holiday, sickness and turnover in your internal team
  • Independent advice, with no licence resale incentive
