  <title><![CDATA[Georgia Tech Selects Workday to Transform Its Financial Administration System]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Georgia Tech has announced its intent to pursue a contract with Workday to transform the Institute&rsquo;s financial administration system. The project scope will encompass financial data, business processes, and systems integration.</p>

<p>&ldquo;This transformation is expected to enable Georgia Tech to more effectively and efficiently achieve its strategic goals by leveraging state-of-the-art technology and creating a unified financial and business digital experience for the campus community,&rdquo; said Greg Phillips, senior director of Enterprise Resource Planning.</p>

<p>After launching the financial transformation initiative last summer, the Office of Enterprise Resource Planning assembled a cross-functional team to engage the campus community and University System of Georgia stakeholders in a collaborative discovery process, in pursuit of a cloud-based system (software as a service). Workday was deemed the best provider after a comprehensive request-for-proposal process.</p>

<p>The Institute expects to begin the system implementation later this summer following the selection of a system integration partner.</p>

<p>More information will be available at <a href="http://erp.gatech.edu/">erp.gatech.edu</a>. Questions may be submitted to <a href="mailto:erp.ask@business.gatech.edu">erp.ask@business.gatech.edu</a>.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
