When Workday Financials goes live on July 5, that’s not the end of Finance Strategic Transformation. Even though the system will be live, there will still be lots of adjusting, training, building, and refining to do, plus the work that will occur with Adaptive Planning 3.0 and other parts of the project. July 5 isn't so much of a finish line as it is a major milestone and the gateway into stabilization.

The FST Team is ramping up efforts to support you post-go-live. The Training team will still be offering training in July, our Finance Solution Center will be in overdrive, with folks from throughout UVAFinance pitching in to handle your questions and concerns, and the training team will host a series of Office Hours for you to visit and get help.
Head to the UVAFinance website and visit the FST part of the webpage, where you can see the schedules for the office hours and additional training, plus lots of other new resources that we’ve prepared for you, including an FST News Ticker so you can quickly see deadlines and pertinent info related to the launch, and a place right under that where we can catalog known issues as they present.

Timely, transparent communication is our top priority. The entire team is committed to sharing relevant news and updates leading up to and beyond go-live. We will update all of our regular communication channels continually and will send timely messages directly to affected user groups when needed.
Don't wait to take your training. For all required courses, there are self-paced options available, so if you can’t make an instructor-led session, you can take it as your schedule allows. If you’ve been assigned a financial role in Workday, you should get your training done so that you’re ready to do your work when Workday Financials goes live.

Adaptive Planning resources are ramping up. The training team is working with the Adaptive Planning team to produce training for Adaptive 3.0, the version of our budgeting software that will integrate with Workday Financials. Adaptive Planning 3.0 goes live on July 28, and besides the training, we’re also building support materials for this transition on the UVAFinance website.

Thank you to everyone who’s been so gracious with their time, expertise, and feedback. We look forward to sharing the fruit of all this labor with you as the summer progresses. This is going to be an exciting few days, with a little bit of chaos mixed in, but with the work we’ve done with all of our partners out in the schools and units, we are in good shape for this launch. There may be bumps in the road, but we will handle them just like we’ve handled all this long, arduous preparation: together.
See you on the other side of go-live!
