Workday's cloud-native model is a real shift for higher ed. We help institutions make that shift
without losing what makes their operations work.
Institutions that implemented Workday through a generalist systems integrator often end up with business processes that technically work but don't reflect how higher ed actually operates: extra approval steps, reporting that doesn't match what the registrar's office needs, workflows built for a corporate HR use case. We come in after go-live and rebuild those processes around how your institution actually functions.
Every engagement looks a little different depending on where your institution is starting from. But strip away the specifics, and here's what you can count on across the board:
Workday setups modeled on corporate HR and finance that don't fit how higher ed actually operates day to day.
Financial aid, registrar, and bursar teams still pulling numbers into spreadsheets because Workday reports don't answer their real questions.
Workday implementations that stall mid-project because internal IT bandwidth gets consumed by daily operational demands and support tickets.
Workday data that never syncs cleanly with the SIS or CRM, leaving admissions and advising teams working blind.
Extra approval steps and workflows built for corporate hierarchies that slow down simple academic and HR requests.
