UVAFinance in Action:

Johns Hopkins Sightline Project

The UVAFinance and JHU teams
 collaborating together!

Recently, UVAFinance had the pleasure of hosting a site visit from the Johns Hopkins University team as they prepare for their exciting journey to implement Workday in 2027 through their "Sightline" project. The JHU team connected with UVAFinance and our partners to learn about our transformative Workday experience during the Finance Strategic Transformation project. It was a fantastic opportunity to exchange insights, share best practices, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Both teams walked away with valuable takeaways, and we look forward to continued engagement with JHU as they embark on this journey. Wishing them every success with Sightline!

Congrats Christine!
