Workday Project Shifts Focus to Finance

In January, Saint Louis University successfully rolled out human resources and payroll processes in SLU’s new modern, cloud-based administrative system, Workday.

Now, SLU is focused on replacing the University’s current Banner financial system with Workday Financials, which is set to launch July 1.
