OspreyRising Overview

oneColumn

The University of North Florida has embarked on an exciting new project aimed at upgrading and enhancing many of our core business processes at UNF. Beginning in January 2023 and covering the next 18 months, the University will be actively engaged in OspreyRising, a digital transformation project that will replace finance and human resource functions in the current system, Ellucian Banner, with a new cloud-based system, Workday.

What is Workday?

Workday is a comprehensive and inclusive human resources and financial management system. Aimed at enhancing functionality, usability and productivity, Workday will replace numerous existing systems and products that currently require significant manual interaction to keep them running.

Workday will promote consistency across the University while reducing costs, risks and technology debt. Workday is key to UNF's digital transformation, and it will change the way you work!
