Let's integrate with Equifax Workforce Solutions!
Two things before we begin.
Like anything worth doing, integrations take time. Please allow up to 4 weeks for this integration to be completed, this includes time for scoping, development and testing. You’ll also need to have a system expert and/or system administrator to assist in the completion of this integration.
Lastly, only the US region is supported and relevant for this Integration. Therefore, the Equifax Workflow Solutions integration tile will be available on our US server only. Please speak to your Customer Success Manager for more information on this.
