A Tale of Two Launches: Adaptive and Workday

 It's the best of times; it's the worst of times:  at the same time the UVA community is excited about the opportunities that come from having modern financial and budgeting systems, we're burdened by the many dates and competing priorities that come from TWO system launches occurring very closely together.

The launch date of Workday Financials is July 5, as we're sure you've been made aware.  The launch date of the version of Adaptive that integrates with Workday Financials, Adaptive 3.0, goes live on July 28. It may sound like there's a generous amount of time between these two events, but we encourage you not to push preparing for the launch of Adaptive 3.0 too far down your To-Do list.

Remember that after the Workday Financials go-live, your time may be taken up by important tasks like loading fund transfers due to the differences in future state fund balance ownership, or working on your fund balance realignment.  The time immediately after the launch of any big system can have many things crop up that we didn't expect!

Check out this blog post for details of Adaptive considerations to keep in mind now, plus a rundown of what's new in Adaptive 3.0, and a link to a preview of Adaptive 3.0 you can watch.

Questions or concerns?  We encourage you to bring them to the June 21 Adaptive Budget Transformation Session at 11am.  We'll be happy to assist.  You can also reach out to us at askfinance@virginia.edu
