The Workday implementation project is continuing to make headway, with our Finance, HR, and IT teams working hard to prepare for our launch in December. We are now in the Architect and Configure phase of our Workday implementation, where teams are actively testing the system to ensure it meets our needs. This involves running hundreds of test scenarios, identifying issues, logging defects, and working to resolve them. These efforts are key to refining the system and ensuring a smooth transition when we go live. You can find more information on this project, including timelines, at our website at acu.edu/workdaytransition. We’ve also prepared a one-page overview of the project that can be found here. If you have questions about the project or it’s impact on you, you can email us at workdaytransition@acu.edu.
