Preparing for Workday Go-Live: Key Finance Milestones

Thursday, August 27, 2020

Information to help you prepare for the implementation of Workday, including key upcoming Finance milestones, is now available on the Integrated Program Renewal (IRP) website.

These dates relate primarily to "cutover" — a critical technical phase to enable the transition from our current systems to Workday. This period will involve deadlines to complete actions in our current systems and dates for when specific systems will be unavailable. These system constraints will have operational implications and require your support and appropriate preparation to ensure a successful transition to Workday.

Similar to fiscal year end, there will be a number of process cut off dates in the weeks prior to go-live. The UBC community will be required to complete specific actions in line with these dates. During any periods when current systems are not available, an interim process will be put in place to allow for operational continuity while Workday is prepared for use.

The full set of dates is now available on the IRP website, and the finance-specific dates have been included on the Important Dates page of this website.
