Is Workday Building a SIS?

The TTG 2013 U.S. SIS Market Trends Insights and Analysis report includes a review on Workday in the Companies to Watch section of the report.

While Workday has not made any formal announcement, TTG predicts that Workday is making plans to build a SIS. With a dedicated business unit and higher education customers for its HR and Finance products, the next logical step is to build a SIS.

If Workday does make a formal announcement, it is still very early in the SaaS SIS technology cycle. The early adopter portion of higher education institutions may consider moving to SaaS SIS over the next 2-3 years. It will take longer for the majority of institutions to consider SaaS-based SIS a viable option.

In the near term, many more institutions are considering hosted solutions and managed services solutions. To read more and to purchase the report, click here.
