Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Kainos Worksmart, Inc

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

Technology Services (TS) is requesting approval of a new contract with Kainos Worksmart, Inc. to purchase and implement a Workday test automation tool. Workday is the City’s Enterprise Resource Planning software and this tool will be used to help TS, Finance, Human Resources, Purchasing and Denver International Airport perform the required testing of the Workday system in relation to the bi-annual, quarterly and monthly vendor provided application updates. The City will be able to use this tool to test and analyze the impact of the Workday application updates against the business processes configured in the current version. The engagement with Kainos will include the purchase, set up and configuration, training and ongoing support and maintenance of the “Smart” tool.

The Kainos “Smart” tool is a Software as a Service (SaaS) Test Automation Product for Workday. It is designed specifically for the business user and is currently used successfully by over 150+ Workday customers. The automation has been pre-built and is continuously maintained by Kainos, which means the City does not need to write and maintain its own automation scripts. This tool encompasses Human Capital Management (HCM), Financials, Payroll, Integrations and Security testing. This tool will make testing Workday configurations faster, easier and less resource-intensive by allowing TS to automate the creation, execution and verification of test cases against the City’s specific Workday configuration.
