7月8日,布朗大学went live on Workday Financial Management and Grants Management. This is a big deal for us, and I think it will be helpful to share with others both the impact of having this unified data and some lessons learned from our deployment.
This month marks the beginning of a new era for Brown University that encompasses our people, our processes, and how we use technology to support our community. We just went live on Workday for Education & Government, a cloud-based administrative system for our workforce of more than 11,000 people.
