SU Workday
蜜桃情人 has successfully transitioned to Workday as the campus’ main Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP system). Workday is a cloud-based ERP system that specializes in administrative and financial process for higher education. At SU, Workday replaced Gullnet and the legacy ERP system, PeopleSoft.
The conversion to Workday was a collaborative effort with four other University System of Maryland Institutions known as the Maryland Connect Project.
There are many benefits to Workday as an ERP system. Workday helps organizations make better data-driven decisions, and gives SU employees the ability to pivot quickly in the changing world of work. On a regular basis, most SU employees will use Workday in the following ways:
- Submit timesheets
- Submit leave requests (annual, sick, etc.)
- Submit reimbursement requests
- Submit purchase requests
- Run budget reports
- Review your employee data
- Track positions/jobs
- Track employee performance
At launch our users had many highly developed processes to work with. However, we are all still learning. Please see the full list of functionally below.
