The History of Workday on the Bluff

Workday launched at LMU in June 2021, the culmination of a multi-year project and the largest technology overhaul in 23 years. 

After an exhaustive RFP process, Workday was selected as the platform best suited to LMU's HR and financial needs. The first true cloud application built for higher education, Workday highlights a user-friendly interface that is uniquely suited to a university setting in today's digital age. The platform is equally desktop and mobile-friendly, allowing students, staff, and faculty to access their benefits and conduct business from any device, anywhere, anytime.
