Fort Hays State University - Customer Case Study

Fort Hays State University faced challenges with cumbersome, paper-based transactional work and limited visibility across its various departments. These inefficient processes, which included having to manually email every student, hindered the university's operations. To address this, they turned to the vendor Workday for a comprehensive solution, implementing a wide range of Workday products including Human Capital Management, Financial Management, Student Admissions, and Payroll.

By implementing Workday, the university automated its HR, finance, and student processes, leading to significantly improved efficiency and tighter financial controls. The results for Fort Hays State University included a 63% decrease in incomplete graduate applications, over 90% user adoption driven by mobile access, and the replacement of its aging mainframe. Workday provided a single source of truth, enabling better, faster decision-making across the entire institution.
