The Board of Trustees' capital committee approved a resolution to modernize the University of Alabama's enterprise systems, replacing its current ERP with a cloud-based Workday platform.
Doctor Keith, presenting on behalf of UA, said the project followed a "thorough vendor evaluation, including requests for information, site visits, and price negotiations," and named Workday as the selected platform with Huron Consulting Services LLC recommended as the implementation partner. The project is scheduled to begin in fall 2025 and launch in February 2028, including up to eight months of post-launch stabilization.
The total project cost was described in the materials as approximately $123,600,000. Doctor Keith recommended approval and the committee voted to approve the resolution by voice vote.
The transcript records no roll-call tally. The resolution authorizes staff to proceed with vendor contracting and implementation planning; the committee did not record specific milestone dates beyond the planned launch window or a detailed funding breakdown in the spoken presentation beyond the total cost figure included in the materials.
Next steps will include final contract execution, project governance setup and scheduled reporting to the Board as the implementation advances.
