The Transition to Workday

Workday will replace Banner finance and HR in Fall 2025

Workday will replace some of Banner as the new enterprise software platform for finance and human resources. To meet the evolving needs of its faculty and staff, W&M is modernizing its ERP to align the current business demands of the university with a technology partner and toolset that delivers the functionality and user experience that is needed by the W&M community.
