STORIES & SOLUTIONS FOR THE MODERN BUSINESS USER

For many higher education institutions, a cloud implementation is the largest initiative undertaken in 20 years or longer. However, a successful transformation project is more than modernizing technology. Success is measured on the level of adoption and use of the new system and takes careful planning. Bringing human resources, financial, and student systems together impacts the entire institution, and as with any widespread change, developing a robust communication strategy is vital to project success.

It’s an exciting time when a higher education institution decides to deploy Workday. A next-gen cloud ERP is transformational in and of itself, impacting how work gets done across the entire institution. Success with cloud ERP transformation depends on preparing the people leading and impacted by the change. However, getting everyone at the institution comfortable with change can be challenging. Here are some things to consider when readying your institution for a Workday project.

Choosing to move your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) operations to the cloud is a transformative experience for your organization. Whether you are making this transition to streamline business processes, prepare for an acquisition, or to simplify operations, your transformation is as much about people, behaviors, and how you work as it is about the technology.
