Universities and colleges embarking on their Workday journey—whether planning, deploying, or optimizing post-go-live—face a unique challenge: resourcing. Many institutions struggle with questions like:
At Helios Consulting, we understand these challenges. That’s why we created Horizons for Higher Education, a tailored program designed to help universities develop and sustain their Workday expertise—leveraging their own students and recent graduates.
Before your Workday project even begins, securing the right expertise is essential. Many institutions lack the internal resources to plan effectively, leading to delays and increased costs.
Workday implementations require significant time, effort, and expertise. Universities often struggle with resource constraints as existing staff juggle daily operations alongside project demands.
After go-live, maintaining a Workday system requires dedicated support. Many institutions rely on costly contractors, leading to a lack of continuity and ownership.
