Case Study: Rhodes College achieves a streamlined Workday migration — consolidating 22 legacy systems into 1, unlocking analytics and 50% implementation cost savings with SnapLogic

SnapLogic Fuels Rhodes College’s Workday Digital Transformation

Rhodes College, a liberal arts institution in Memphis, faced a major obstacle in its multi-year move to Workday: a small IT team of six generalists and a sprawling set of legacy on‑prem systems with few available APIs, leaving no scalable way to complete the migration without costly third‑party help. The college needed to modernize student lifecycle, finance and HR processes while simplifying the student experience and reducing technical debt.

By adopting the SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform, Rhodes automated and orchestrated integrations between legacy systems and Workday (including Workday Prism), enabling the six‑person team to deploy custom pipelines in three months. The initiative cut legacy ERP/SIS systems from 22 to 1, unlocked student and business analytics, streamlined onboarding, housing and payment workflows, and delivered roughly 50% implementation cost savings versus hiring an external Workday partner.
