University College Dublin (UCD) is Ireland’s leading international University, based in Dublin with facilities in Ireland, USA & Singapore. The University’s finance systems date from the 1990s, working in a decentralised model. The University had a desire to procure and implement a modern ERP finance technology solution to ensure effective future operations aligned to growth and the continuation of quality services to students and staff.
Following an initial advisory engagement on how to approach and consider such a requirement, Org was selected as the Client-side Transformation Partner of choice to support, guide and deliver the required design and implementation of a new operating model, new ways of working and programme set up to ensure the successful start up and running of the required Finance Transformation Programme.
As the first Workday Finance ERP implementation in Higher Education across UK, Ireland, and Europe, this pioneering project demanded exceptional precision. Org Advisory & Technology Services led UCD through a comprehensive journey from foundation to successful completion.
Recognising the inherent complexity of ERP transformations, we established a pragmatic partnership with clear governance structures and an experienced programme team. This foundation ensured university wide understanding and acceptance of the upcoming changes.
