Is your institution considering a move to the cloud? Join senior leaders from Broward College as they discuss their moves to the cloud.

Your employees want self-service and mobile apps to engage with HR. Your managers are demanding better reporting. Your organization is getting more complex with more contingent workers. But your HR systems are hard to use and just plain old.

A growing number of CFOs are investing in programs that teach finance professionals how to partner effectively with business decision makers. In fact, new research from APQC indicates that the best finance organizations are those with a strong commitment to professional training—including crucial soft-skills training.

People and financial performance go hand-in-hand, but often financial, HR, and talent systems and processes are separate. But the truth is that no organization today can effectively drive a strategy without the total business visibility, financial management and full-time and contingent people resources to execute against it.

Are the complexities of your existing payroll system unmanageable? Is it unified with your HR and financial systems? Are you getting real-time insight to better manage your business? Hear a real-life case study providing the reasons and benefits a company has moved its enterprise applications to the cloud.

Introducing Workday 18, our latest update that delivers continuous innovation to our customers. Expanded financial management for global and vertical organizations. A continued focus on collaboration and mobile. And new, ground-breaking performance management capabilities. With every update, Workday just keeps getting better.

Organizations operate in a complex world. They require flexible, intuitive applications that can react quickly to ever-changing requirements. And they need these applications to supply contextual information for improved decision-making.

In today's business environment—where there's mounting pressure on each business function to align and deliver results against overall business results—HR finds itself in the crosshairs of some major "re-thinking." As the central unit that connects all of your business functions, HR must evolve over time.

Join CFO Research and Workday for this special webinar and survey report revealing new research on the key challenges CFOs are experiencing with traditional on-premise financial management systems, the key factors that motivate them to make a change, and perspectives on new financial management technologies including migration to cloud-based systems.

Are your finance and HR system silos helping or hurting your organization? Take a few minutes to watch and listen as Mollie Lombardi, Research Director, Human Capital Management, Aberdeen Group outline the drivers for unification, including reporting processes, employee management, and more.

Change is the most permanent aspect of business. It drives innovation and new ideas, enhances performance, and leads to competitive advantage. But with change comes challenges. Organizations need to prepare for change—new government regulations, healthcare reform, business model shifts, or industry upswings and downturns—rather than react when it happens.

In a recent Center for Digital Government survey, one in four respondents noted that their ERP systems are between 5 and 10 years old. A further 24 percent revealed their systems were between 11 and 20 years of age. And 40 percent experienced higher than expected costs when implementing their current ERP systems. So how does your organization stack up?

You need the latest workforce cost reports at your fingertips. And your organization's employees want to go mobile. But you're struggling with a system designed back in the '80s that was last upgraded years ago. In this webinar, HR leaders share the benefits of moving to the cloud.

In the future, this market is expected to grow exponentially, as companies accelerate their adoption of cloud computing.

Yet, myths regarding privacy and security often cloud the decision-making process.

Governments are operating in an increasingly uncertain and difficult environment.

A recent CFO SignalsTM report from Deloitte Development LLC indicates that almost 50% of the CFOs surveyed need more metrics, information, and tools for making sound business decisions, and 75% say they need to improve their organization's analytical skills. In order to deliver sustained value and achieve financial excellence, CFOs must have deep visibility into the financial and operational performance of their business. They need to be able to answer the question "Do I have a complete, real-time view of my business for proactive decision making?"

In the recent Forrester Wave™: Human Resource Management Systems, Q1 2012 Report, Workday was named a "leader" in the evaluation, receiving the highest scores of the group in both the current offering and strategy categories. Workday also received top scores for technology, customer experience, and for a range of categories covering specific HRMS functionality. The report indicates, "Workday's strong core HR functionality and advanced SaaS technology platform play well against perennial Leaders Oracle and SAP, which offer breadth and global reach with a more traditional on-premises or hosted deployment approach."

For the last three decades, computing has moved away from the use of big centralized systems toward the use of smaller do-it-yourself personal computers, laptops, touch screens, and mobile devices. Enterprise business software delivery models have evolved as well, from on-premise deployments to off-site hosting to cloud computing leveraging Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
