Case Study: Howard University enhances student support with Workday

Howard University unifies HR and finance with Workday for real-time insights

Howard University, a historically Black private university, sought to enhance student support by improving its back-office operations. The challenge was the lack of integration between HR and finance functions, which led to inefficient workflows and hindered collaboration across departments. To address this, the university partnered with vendor Workday, implementing its solutions including Financial Management and Human Capital Management.

Workday provided Howard University with a single platform that unified HR and finance data. This solution delivered real-time data for informed decision-making, streamlined supplier payments for better external relations, and enabled comprehensive financial reporting, including precise tracking of student aid. As a result, Workday allowed the university to simplify processes, improve collaboration, and refocus its efforts on its primary goal of student service and education.
