Why Workday?
Workday was selected based on functionality, usability, total cost of ownership, and ability to meeting IRSC’s business requirements. Because it is a cloud solution, it is easier, quicker, and less costly to implement and operate than traditional enterprise systems. Workday is focused on serving the Higher Education Industry. Broward College, Tallahassee Community College, Florida Atlantic University, Brown, Yale, Georgetown, Cornell, and USC have either implemented Workday or are in the process of implementing Workday. They interact with Workday regularly and have the opportunity to guide the design and availability of functionality required for higher education.
Is Workday easy to use?
Yes. Workday is very user-friendly and resembles most consumer websites, which makes it easy to use for everyone.
How are my day-to-day tasks impacted by the implementation of Workday?
The goal of this initiative is to streamline processes and procedures, provide actionable data at your fingertips, and allow all employees more time to focus on strategic initiatives that support the IRSC mission and their department’s goals. The implementation of Workday facilitates access to information, streamlines processes, and facilitates effective, efficient decision making.
