Successful Transition from Ellucian Banner to Workday: Data Migration, Integration and Support Services

Client Background

The client is a leading HBCU academic health sciences institution renowned for its dedication to healthcare education, research, and service. With a mission to serve underserved communities, the college strives to lead in innovation and operational excellence.

Business Challenges:

The transition involved multiple challenges.

• Managing a large volume of complex data across various departments, including Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Records, with strict timelines and the need to maintain data integrity throughout the process.
• The data in Ellucian Banner needed extensive cleanup before it was loaded to Workday.
• Data not available in the legacy system but mandatory in the target system, along with limited support from business users who were busy with their current responsibilities.
• Operational continuity during the transition.
• Complex Expense types.

The client wanted to ensure a successful migration to Workday while addressing critical data and integration challenges. The goal was also to maintain continuity during transition, enhance operational efficiency, and expand Workday capabilities through Phase X implementation of the Expense module.
