Ready, Recon@, Go?

FST Advisory Group members have asked about the fate of Recon@, which we presume means many of you are wondering, too. Does it stay? Does it go? The short answer: we’re still not sure. Making that determination is a high priority, and we’re working on it.

Ideally, as part of the FST project, we would transition from Recon@ to the Workday Account Certification module (part of Workday Financials). If that happens, it would be in coordination with other larger-scale approvals changes that may be part of finance transformation. The lingering questions center on functionality: can the Workday certification module provide the level of approval and certification capabilities required by both state and federal regulations? Once the FST team answers that question and any others related to functionality needs, the team will shepherd the decision through the RAPID decision-making process. As a Tier 2 decision, FST advisory entities will provide input on the potential change. Learn more about the FST Project Decision-Making Structure, including the tiers.

If you have questions or concerns about Recon@, let your area’s Advisory Group Member/Change Leader know. They’ll be able to share your thoughts with the FST project team, and they’ll be part of the group who will provide input during the RAPID process.

To keep an eye on the Recon@ decision and others, check the FST Decision Log from time to time. It has info about decisions that have been made and identifies those that are upcoming. There’s a “last updated” date so you’ll be able to tell quickly if there have been recent changes. We’ll also share more information about the Recon@ decision when it’s available.
