Secondary Systems

Background

Secondary systems are department- or unit-owned software tools that support local operations and are managed — both functionally and technologically — outside UF’s main enterprise system, which is administered by UF Information Technology (UFIT).

In preparation for UF’s transition to Workday in July 2027, the Empowering UF team surveyed colleges and units to identify their secondary systems that support human resources, payroll and finance activities with the goal of reducing reliance on secondary systems and leveraging Workday as a unified platform. The team finished the initial discovery to review the secondary-system inventory and has met with colleges and units to understand each system’s purpose. If you have a secondary system that has yet to be reviewed, please email the project team (empowering@ufl.edu).

Monthly forums

The Empowering UF Project Team hosts Secondary Systems Monthly Forums to share information about Workday in order to help colleges and units plan how to update their secondary systems so they continue to function alongside Workday after go-live in July 2027.

Forum schedule

Forums are held at 2-3 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each month via Zoom.
