After a lengthy, two-year process, SOU determined that the University would be considerably better served by implementing a 21st century system to replace the Banner ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The Workday platform will save SOU roughly $800,000 per year after implementation when compared to the current Banner ecosystem. Workday also offers transformational potential through its more modern and relevant business processes. SOU is implementing the new Workday system to leverage these next-generation processes in ways that will make us significantly more efficient, allowing us to serve our students more effectively.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-l9t0r9f6-11-11-5eb6e82f022b03fa5f9b7512d36ba32a'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"What is Workday?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: What is Workday?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: What is Workday?\">What is Workday?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Workday is a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) for Human Resources, Finance, Planning, and Student Services. ERP refers to business process management software (in our current case, the example is Banner).<\/p>\n<p>Workday will be the new tool the SOU uses to store and organize information and data to conduct business. The initial phase of Workday implementation included everything from paying bills, to tracking time, leave, and reporting. Workday Student covers an even broader spectrum of University processes, including management of the course catalog and class schedules and everything student related from admission to commencement. Workday is a much more modern and integrated system than we currently have. It will help us do our work more quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>All of the processes described here will be transferred to Workday for fall term 2026. Spring and summer processes will remain in Banner.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-l9t0r9f6-11-10-2ba868bec61b77ebc8a139c84e0d0de6'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-4' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-4' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-4' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"What are the benefits of Workday?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: What are the benefits of Workday?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: What are the benefits of Workday?\">What are the benefits of Workday?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-4' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-4' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Workday will offer many benefits to SOU including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simplifying complex, paper-based procedures into one system.<\/li>\n<li>Improving data visibility, reliability, and usefulness.<\/li>\n<li>Providing easy-to-use modern technology.<\/li>\n<li>Streamlining many time-consuming inefficient and manual processes to create a better user experience for staff, faculty, and students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-l9t0r9f6-11-9-6e2692fc5b187d59eb723574b0976bed'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-5' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-5' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-5' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"How has Workday been built?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: How has Workday been built?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: How has Workday been built?\">How has Workday been built?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-5' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-5' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Alchemy, our implementation partner company, has worked with SOU to help us design, build, test, and deploy Workday.
