Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in UBC’s Workday demonstrations at UBC Okanagan (Tuesday, November 7) and UBC Vancouver (Wednesday, November 8).

With over 600 registrants for the live demonstrations and web stream, it’s safe to say the events were a success!

At the demonstrations, Workday showcased its single system offering for Student, Human Resources (HR) and Finance – showing how its cloud-based application and real-time capabilities could be the solution to retiring UBC’s legacy applications in favour of an integrated solution.

UBC is entering a period of tremendous opportunity to modernize our approaches and enabling technologies to improve how we work together as a community of faculty, staff and students. You may be aware that UBC's renewal programs for Student (SASI), HR and Finance have recently been brought together as one integrated program with multiple project streams. Many of you have participated in earlier stages of work in one or more of these program streams to explore ways to improve our users' experience, simplify processes and evaluate new software solutions.
