About the Project

The university is replacing Oracle E-Business Suite, our current ERP tool. An ERP tool helps the university keep track of both the people and monetary resources to help us better budget, pay, plan, attract, develop, and retain employees across the organization, or to fund new projects that support our faculty, staff, and student populations. As an RIT employee, you use our ERP to view your paystub, sign up for benefits, submit an expense reimbursement, or update your personal information. Depending on your role, you may also use it to approve expense reports, invoices, and time off.

An Aging Platform

RIT implemented Oracle eBusiness Suite (also known as Oracle, myInfo, and /or Ebiz) in 1998, and it is approaching end-of-life. This poses a risk to our employees’ and university data security. Leveraging Workday as our new ERP enhances our data security and enables RIT to modernize university business processes, enhances user experience, and improves our ability to use data for decision-making. 

A Modern Solution

The RFP to replace Oracle eBusiness Suite was released September 13th, 2023. In January of 2024, we announced the winning bidder, Workday. After an extensive selection process, RIT selected Accenture as our implementation partner to drive positive change for the future. Accenture provides expertise and a methodology to ensure we make the right business process decisions for RIT.  

The Workday Implementation began in Summer 2024 and is expected to take approximately two years to roll out, with the primary launch of HR and Finance modules on January 1, 2026.
