Replacing old technology
The all-in-one platform, Workday, will replace various outdated and expiring York systems in November 2026, and integrate with plenty of others we use.
We're progressing through stages of in-depth configuring and testing to make sure it will suit our purposes when we launch – and long thereafter. For now, we can share a top-level introduction to Workday in its pre-York form.
The list of affected systems below might change slightly as we confirm the scope, but should provide an early overview; if you want to ask about another system you use as part of your role, you can get in touch with the team.

Workday is a really exciting, world-leading platform, built around modern processes designed specifically for higher education. It was the clear frontrunner to help us adopt best practice as we simplify how we work, move to 'one version of the truth' for our data, and keep refining what's possible long after go-live.
