• Refactor inefficient calculated fields or join logic.
• Capacity Governance: specific management of Prism Storage Capacity.
• Implement data retention policies, archive obsolete datasets, and optimize row counts to remain within licensed limits.
• Change Management: Perform impact analysis on Prism datasets during bi-annual Workday releases.
• Ensure that changes to Core Workday objects do not break downstream Prism mappings.
• Incident Resolution: Serve as the Tier 2/3 support point for "Data Discrepancy" tickets, investigating root causes where reported numbers in Prism do not match source systems.
