Why does ‘integration’ feature in the business strategy of a solution provider?
For a solution provider, data exchange, interoperability, and workflow automation across various HR systems are significant to their clients’ business growth. Therefore, it makes sense to a solution provider to prioritize making these seamless integrations available.
What role does Workato play in solving the critical needs of a business?
There are multiple HR systems like recruitment, benefits, payroll, and core HR platforms that customers are required to integrate. Moreover, the nature of the data to be exchanged is often sensitive.
Considering these scenarios, security and performance become a must-have for solution providers. Not to forget, the time to market and scalability factors play a deciding role in the business success of solution providers. But thanks to Workato, its solutions can help businesses accomplish all these goals.

Why is Workato a great value accelerator?

Workato helps with integrating and automating HR/business workflows between apps, data, and customer-facing or revenue-generating teams. It allows businesses to build integrations at 5X the speed of typical integration platforms. Furthermore, its fully cloud-native architecture that is built for speed and scale largely cuts down overall costs and operational footprint.
How can Harbinger leverage Workato for the benefit of its customers?
Harbinger specializes in providing software product development services to software vendors in multiple industries, including HRTech.
For most software platforms, supporting ‘interoperability’ across various systems such as human resources information system, customer relationship management, electronic human resources management, and collaboration platforms is a key driver for business growth. In addition, the ‘time to market’ is often a determining factor when it comes to business growth.
Both the interoperability and time to market factors warrant the need to have an iPaaS solution in place. And what could be a better iPaaS solution than Workato?
The partnership with Workato allows Harbinger to tap into Workato’s modern integration and automation capabilities and extend them to our customers. In 2021, Workato was named a Leader in Magic Quadrant™ Enterprise iPaaS by Gartner for the fourth consecutive year. It’s the only iPaaS to receive Perfect rating for ease of Integrating Applications by Forrester.
Recently, Harbinger helped a high-volume hourly hiring platform to seamlessly integrate with ADP Vantage using Workato. This allowed the platform to automate the hiring/rehiring and termination processes by synchronizing employee/candidate data in real-time.
There was no additional or separate deployment required. Furthermore, the secure deployment environment helped the client to send/store notifications on Google Sheets/Slack for failover and success events, and to monitor application logs.
