Workday Project Update

The Workday implementation team is entering an important phase of the project — End-to-End (E2E) Testing, which is scheduled to begin at the end of this month.

During E2E testing, we will test the entire lifecycle of key business processes in Workday from start to finish. This includes not only the steps that happen within Workday itself but also how data flows between Workday and other systems that Dickinson relies on, such as third-party vendors and internal campus systems.

The goals of E2E testing are to:

• Confirm that business processes function as expected
• Validate that data integrations are working properly
• Ensure that security settings and user permissions are correct
• Evaluate usability from an end-user perspective

Additionally, we'll soon begin preparing for Payroll Parallel Testing, which will begin later this summer.
