The University of Washington Financial Transformation (UWFT) program was initiated in 2008 with the goal of modernizing the University's finance and procurement policies, processes, and systems by creating a single system. The cloud-based platform Workday was selected to replace the 43-year-old COBOL-based Financial Accounting System (FAS) and multiple ledger and supply chain systems supporting UW Medicine.
In 2017 the University of Washington launched Workday Human Resources Management for its payroll and workforce management for the entire university system, including UW Medicine. This move utilized the finance and procurement modules, linking the core financial and human resource systems.
Stage 2 of the Financial Transformation was deployed in July 2023 to further expand Workday's scope and retire legacy systems.
