description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps stub for Workday Integration Cloud. Integration entitlement is bundled into the Workday tenant subscription; per-integration-run pricing and a public usage API are not exposed, so meters describe contractual entitlement and integration inventory rather than runtime billing.

notes: No public pricing or billing API exists. Generic api_request / data_egress / compute_seconds meters from the scaffold have been removed.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Maintain an internal inventory of integrations (Cloud Connect, Studio, EIB) with owner, source / target system, and frequency; pair with Workday integration event reports to confirm utilization since invoice line items don't break out per integration.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate Integration Cloud spend to the systems-of-record on each end of an integration (HR, Finance, IT) and tie new integrations back to the requesting business case so the platform fee is justified.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Retire dead integrations before renewal, prefer EIB over custom Studio where the data shape allows, schedule batch runs during low-load windows to fit within tenant concurrency, and consolidate point-to-point flows into reusable Studio templates.
  - name: Accountability
    description: An Integration Center of Excellence lead should own approval of new integrations, periodic reviews of inventory, and renewal-time consolidation with Workday sales.
