On July 1, 2025, the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system Workday will be deployed across the UW-Madison campus and UW system, effectively replacing HR and financial PeopleSoft systems. Workday modernizes and streamlines enterprise human resource, finance, and research administration activities by

providing process standardization and increased flexibility to its users.

The UW-Madison ERP Ancillary Systems Program (ASP) is partnering with Administrative Transformation Program (ATP), other enterprise level programs, and UW-Madison schools, colleges, institutes and divisions. While ATP is responsible for migrating systems from PeopleSoft to Workday and training end-users on the Workday functionality, the ASP team is responsible for ensuring that more than 800 systems that currently interact with financial or HR data from PeopleSoft continue to work, uninterrupted, once Workday goes live, and that their system owners are supported through this change.
