Project Overview | What Should I Expect When?

Imagine Deliver RunTestConfig & Prototype ArchitectPlan

Architect: Building the Model• Expect: The team starts establishing

implementation; requirement gathering sessions begin, known as Architect sessions.

• Involvement: The team displays Workday functionality during the Architect sessions and gathers requirements. Architect sessions cover a variety of topics and include 20-30 team members from Functional, Technical and Change Management areas from across Grounds for each sessions. Focus groups that take place after the Architect sessions help refine.

Configure & Prototype: Walking through the Tenant• Expect: The requirements we gathered are now validated and UVA’s initial tenant is built. The

team creates training plans based upon what we know from Architect sessions.• Involvement: Participate in interactive walkthrough of processes; the team gathers feedback on

issues and opportunities from staff to enhance the system.

Test: How Does Workday function at UVA?• Expect: The team starts end-to-end testing in the Workday Tenant. Initial training materials may

also be distributed during this time.• Involvement: You may be asked to help test UVA’s Workday Financials or to evaluate how

ready you think you and your unit are to go live with Workday Financials.

Deploy: Workday Goes Live!• Expect: Training as we prepare to transition to Workday Finance.• Involvement: Once Workday goes “live”, we will ask for everyone’s active involvement in

training as UVA staff and faculty acclimate to new workflows and processes. We’ll depend on our Advisory Group members to help us know what is working – and what needs to be tweaked.

Support & Stabilization: The New Normal• Expect: With the system

live, we are making the small process changes necessary for Workday to be effective for all users.

• Involvement: Keep us apprised of challenges you encounter, as well as continuous improvement opportunities.

Plan: Preparing for Phase 3• Expect: Behind-the-scenes work: hiring,

planning to implementing. • Involvement: The team is putting the

foundation in place!

DRAFTNew Implementation Stage | Configuration and Prototype

What to expect in Configuration and Prototype:• Over the past few months, we have been meeting in teams with various

groups and cataloging their requirements• We have built a design (Configuration #1) around current requirements.

This will serve as a starting point to guide the build.• In C&P, we will update and change on the initial design, setting a

foundation for future iterations

What is needed of the UVa team:• Validate Configuration #1• Ensure build from the cycle meets requirements of daily work• Start to become knowledgeable on relevant functional areas of

Workday

With the implementation underway for Workday Financials, which system should UVA use for supplier onboarding and management in the future state?

RAPID Decisions | PaymentWorks

Background:

UVA currently leverages Jaggaer Total Supplier Management (TSM) as an

onboarding solution for vendors that also provides functionality for records

management and portal access. With the transition to Workday Financials

from Oracle, UVA will have access to similar delivered functionality within the

Workday Supplier module at no additional cost, however neither of these

systems offer services to address issues around fraud prevention

and improvements to key usability features and manual data entry limitations

UVA experiences today.

1 JAEGGAER TSM

Current state solution for supplier onboarding, management

WORKDAY SUPPLIER

Leverage delivered functionality for supplier onboarding and portal access

PAYMENTWORKS

Engage new system for enhanced supplier management functionality

2

3

Recommendation: UVA should transition from TSM to PaymentWorks for the future state and implement early with Oracle in advance of Workday FIN go-live to realize additional revenue opportunity.

RAPID Decisions | PaymentWorks

Technical & Functional Impact

Financial Impact

• Complex Integrations - 1st time Workday integration

−No showstoppers identified in initial reviews

−Early start technical analysis to support development and testing during C&P-2

• Data Security – Low Risk assessment from ITS

• Resource allocation

− Early start implementation compresses Functional, Technical, and Change Management resources

− Resourcing adjustments deemed doable by each team

• Contractual overlap between TSM and PaymentWorks

• Early-start implementation creates additional resource costs to support transition to Oracle in 2021

Page 18: Fiscal Administrators - University of Virginia

RAPID Decisions | PaymentWorks

Change Management Impact

• New registration portal to enter information & sign up for preferred payment method

• PaymentWorks is used by many of UVA's higher ed peers

• Supplier Community has one central PaymentWorks profile across all clients

• We plan for the Individual/Payee registration experience will be greatly simplified from current process

What impact or issues might you anticipate as a result of moving

from TSM to PaymentWorks?

I M P A C T E D A U D I E N C E S

Suppliers and Payees UVA Employees who request new suppliers or updates to suppliers

• Request process for inviting a new supplier or updating supplier information will change

• We expect to simplify the current process

Page 19: Fiscal Administrators - University of Virginia

19

RAPID Decisions | PaymentWorks

• Target Go-Live – July/Aug 2021• Primary Benefits:

• Migrating the supplier community to the platform well in advance of Workday Financials Go-Live

• One less process and interface for UVA employees to learn at Workday Financials Go-Live

• Collapsing payment methods into a single, simplified ACH-Direct Method

• Improving Payment Terms in 2021 (Migrating more suppliers away from Net 45)

Spend Team Updates | Non-Catalog Requisitioning

Decision Made

Use Jaggaer dynamic forms and cart return message to bring all non-catalog information into Workday

JAGGAER

1. The standard punchout connector must be used for custom data transmission.

2. Proof of concept and testing must be completed to make final determination.

3. Solutions creates the most simple and seamless end user experience while maintaining accurate records for processing and audit

4. Solution creates the most efficient buyer experience by collecting necessary information on the front end, and storing it for audit purposes

O P T I O N S

BUYER’S ASSISTUse Workday native non-catalog form for all non-catalog purchases, creating different requisition templates for selection at the point of initiation

C O N S I D E R A T I O N S D E C I S I O N

• The conditional question functionality of the Jaggaer dynamic form allows for a single requisition template with no unneeded data entry

• Applicable questions can be answered prior to the creation of the requisition, allowing the user to be directed to provide relevant information automatically and ensuring complete information prior to submission.

• No custom integration is needed; the standard punchout connector can be modified to accommodate custom data

• Jaggaer will be the initiation point for punchout requisitions and non-catalog requisitions – creating a streamlined UX

C U R R E N T S T A T E

• Suppliers can have unlimited addresses in their Marketplace profile.

• eVA designations are not listed in Marketplace even if the company has eVA registered locations.

• Users are required to select which address is appropriate.

• Payments (checks) sent to incorrect addresses can be lost or returned and new checks must be issued. This can result in a delay in your supplier receiving payment.

F U T U R E S T A T E

• One order from/fulfillment address per supplier (except those with distributed models)

• Universities, Lowe’s/local pick-up etc.

• If a supplier is registered with eVA then only those registered addresses will be available to for purchasing. eVA information will be easily viewable in the Suppliers Workday profile.

• Supplier can receive payment regardless of the address in their profile by utilizing UVA’s forthcoming PaymentWorks/ACH payment option.
