Workday and The Texas A&M University System

The Texas A&M University System is 1 of 6 systems of higher education in the state, with 48,000 employees and 152,000 students across 20 independent organizations. Headquartered in College Station, Texas, the public research system is made up of 11 universities, 7 state agencies, a system office, and a law school, each with its own CFO, CHRO, payroll, and HR department.

Just to be able to have 50,000 employees, 20 members, in a single tenant makes a huge difference in the way we operate.
