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,
