New Workday terms

This new handout describes three key terms for talking about beginning to use Workday, including cutover, launch, and stabilization.

Cutover is the transition period from previous WSU systems to Workday, which will begin in fall 2020.

During launch, WSU will turn on certain functionality to support WSU payroll and human resource processes. Launch will start in mid-December 2020.

Lastly, stabilization is the period following launch that will take a year or more. The University will learn how to effectively use Workday and resolve challenges.

The Modernization glossary also includes a comprehensive list of Workday terms. Questions? Submit them to modhelp.wsu.edu.
