LSU Modernizes Administrative Systems With Workday In The Cloud
Louisiana's flagship institution looks to the future with greater flexibility, data insights, and a mobile-first approach.
Workday, Inc. has announced that Louisiana State University (LSU) has selected Workday's unified solution for higher education, including Workday Financial Management, Workday Human Capital Management, Workday Payroll, Workday Expenses and Workday Grants Management, as well as Workday Recruiting and Workday Big Data Analytics. Delivered in the cloud, Workday will give LSU a modern technology foundation across its campuses, gaining flexibility, speed, and data insights to help drive institutional and student success today and in the future.
LSU is the flagship institution of the LSU System, with more than 25,000 undergraduate and approximately 5,000 graduate students. LSU recently conducted a re-organization review of the LSU System called LSU2015. The goal of LSU2015 is to bring together the resources of the various units of the current LSU System to create a single, globally competitive LSU with statewide reach that is more efficient and more productive in the areas of educating its students, creating robust collaborative research, delivering effective health care, impacting economic development, and conducting public service activities. As part of this plan, LSU is modernizing its information systems, replacing decades-old legacy mainframes with one unified finance and human resources system for administrators, faculty, and staff across its campuses.
