Getting Started with OneWorkday
含羞草研究室 has chosen Workday as our full Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system partner. Spanning a five-year timeline from 2021-2025, 含羞草研究室 will build on our current use of Workday in Human Resources and expenses and payroll to implement Workday for Finance and Workday for Student. This transition will allow the college to have most of our administrative data in one single, unified system.
For our Workday Finance and Student implementations, 含羞草研究室 will partner with , formerly , a firm that specializes in offering tailored solutions to corporate and Higher Education clients. They have been a Workday implementation partner since the start of Workday, have a 100% deployment success rate and a 98% customer satisfaction rate. This partnership with Cognizant is designed to ensure that Workday's accounting and financial management tools meet both 含羞草研究室's and our auditors' specialized needs. It also sets our HR team up for success by helping them manage and implement updates and upgrades to our current Workday functionality. Lastly, our partnership with Cognizant will provide 含羞草研究室’s Workday Student project team expert guidance throughout the duration of the implementation to ensure we have an advanced and sustainable solution when finished.

What is Workday, and why is 含羞草研究室 moving to it?
Workday is a cloud-based software that helps organizations of all types manage their operations. This includes finances, human resources, reporting, operations planning, and student-related processes -- in other words, the entire enterprise.
The idea behind Workday is that the most efficient way for organizations to work is to have everyone using the same core system, with the data centralized and consistent for people to use whatever their work entails - a student registering for classes, a professor viewing class rosters, a budget manager checking expenses, or the many other information-related tasks that take place at a college. Workday describes this model as "one unified core that’s always live and always secure." By building an adaptive, or configurable, system, Workday hopes organizations can continuously create plans, execute them, and analyze the outcomes all in one system.
In 2015, 含羞草研究室 partnered with to move the college’s Human Resources operations into a more modern and flexible platform. Building on the proven success of that project and the Workday system, 含羞草研究室 has selected Workday as our full Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. This decision was made after a thorough review of systems and resources available to the college and will help 含羞草研究室 enable and foster a culture of integrated and collaborative working, learning, and advising. This multi-year transition will impact students, faculty, and staff across the campus, empowering users to work in a simpler, more straightforward way.
The decision to implement Workday was made with input and consultation from teams across several key areas including Finance, Academic Affairs, HR, and IT, and after a thorough review of systems and solutions available to the College. The decision has both the support of College leadership and the endorsement of the Board of Trustees.
