Student Information System (SIS)
About Workday
Workday is Austin Community College District’s new cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. It’s made up of three modules: HCM (Human Resources), Finance & Administration, and Workday Student.
ACC has already migrated to Workday’s Human Resources and Finance & Administration modules. Last Spring we began the exciting work of implementing Workday Student.
Full implementation of this modern, cloud-based ERP will position the College well for future growth and for improved processes for staff and especially students.
Why are we changing our ERP
The College implemented our current SIS, Colleague UniData, more than twenty years ago, and we have increasingly struggled to update and maintain that aging system. Now, we have begun the approximately 30-month process of replacing the College’s current Ellucian Colleague SIS, migrating our student and curricular data to Workday, and configuring Workday to support our college’s processes. During the implementation, it will be our goal to improve access to students’ information for both students and staff, improve the overall user experience, automate processes wherever possible, and provide coherent, consistent, and relevant data. These goals align well with ACC’s Strategic Plan Goal 4 to provide effective and efficient operations and infrastructure and the Chancellor’s Priority of modernizing ACC’s Technology Resources to enhance the student experience and ensure employees have adequate resources to do their jobs effectively.
Where appropriate, Workday Student will replace legacy and integrated systems supporting our Student Information System (SIS). By consolidating these student tools into a single, integrated system, we can help streamline operations, reduce manual processes, and provide faster, easier reporting.
