As 2020 draws to a close, the FST project team would like to thank everyone at UVA who has worked closely with us this year -- there's absolutely no way we could do any of this without your expertise and input.
Until then, here's where things stand at the moment and what's coming up in the New Year.
As the year ends
Customer Confirmation sessions are wrapping up. Nearly 1500
stakeholders from across UVA have seen the first look at Workday financials
functionality with UVA data inside. The 18 confirmation sessions are just a starting point for UVA getting a look at
Workday Financials and confirming that the overall direction meets UVA’s
needs. During the sessions, attendees
got to see business processes performed within the tenant, and they asked
questions and noted issues that we’ll have to tackle in the future.
Check out the
online Community to see slide decks for each customer confirmation
session. There will be another
round of customer confirmation sessions in May of 2021.
Looking Ahead
The team
is going to take the information from this first round of customer confirmation
sessions and continue their configuration and prototype work, culminating in
another build of the UVA Tenant of Workday Financials in April of 2021, just in time for
that next round of Customer Confirmation sessions in May.
There will be another tenant
build after the second one if we have time, and we’ll do testing of the system
for eight months starting around September of 2021.
We'll also be socializing the Foundation Data Model (see more on that here) after winter break. Beginning in January and throughout the spring and summer, the team will be working with schools and units to meticulously sort out the mapping from the PTAO to the FDM.
Check out the Phase 3 - Implementation Roadmap on the FST Website for more information on what's coming up.
And best wishes for a wonderful 2021! |
