Workday launched at UW–Madison on July 7 as part of the Administrative Transformation Program, or ATP, which involves standardizing administrative technology platforms and processes. Workday is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system that will replace current systems used for HR, finance and related processes. You can access Workday through a new tile in MyUW.
The transition to Workday is impacting multiple domains and groups in the school, including human resources and payroll, fiscal affairs, research administration, and the reporting platforms many use in their work. Each area has different timelines and deadlines.
