Technical Workstreams

The technical workstreams are focused on three key objectives to tackle the technical challenges that will build the foundation for Workday at the University of Richmond:

Data Migration

  • Extracting data from current systems
  • Preparing and transferring data to Workday
  • Supporting data integrity and accuracy

Integration Development

  • Connecting Workday and external systems securely
  • Facilitating confidential data exchange with partners, such as UR’s healthcare and retirement investment providers
  • Maintaining business processes across the University's many line of business applications

Security and Access Management

  • Implementing proper user permissions
  • Supporting data protection and confidentiality
  • Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information
What we're most excited about

"Deploying a complex system from the ground up is a rare -once in a career- and exciting challenge. Implementing Workday is like creating a work of art. We start with a blank canvas and as we progress, we begin to see the form take shape. We are building momentum and growing in impact along the way. It is a complex process, much like untangling a ball of wires, but the result will be a streamlined, efficient system that transforms how UR operates.”
