Case Study: FAU achieves strategic, data-driven finance transformation with Workday

FAU transforms finance operations with data-driven innovation

FAU, a university finance organization, wanted to move beyond manual reporting and data entry so its finance team could become a more strategic partner to leadership and campus stakeholders. Using Workday, FAU set out to improve data-driven decision-making, streamline finance operations, and make better use of its historical data.

Workday helped FAU integrate 12 years of historical data into one environment and support more than 10 years of budget-level trending reports, while new use cases can now be built in four weeks or less. With Workday Prism Analytics and Workday Adaptive Planning, FAU’s finance staff now spend more time analyzing transactions and less time on clerical work, enabling more responsive collaboration across the university and transforming finance from a back-office function into a trusted advisor.
