The Integrations Team plays a critical role in the transition from Banner to Workday at W&M, showcasing their unparalleled expertise in integration design and implementation. The team diligently collaborates with various functional offices to automate and streamline tasks, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow within their offices. By facilitating communication with external vendors, they gather essential requirements and provide guidance on best practices for moving data between Banner and other systems, or even within Banner as needed. 
During the Workday project, the team has been instrumental in providing guidance to Huron on the design and implementation of integrations that exist in Banner. Their in-depth knowledge of Banner integrations is being utilized to create new and recreate existing integrations within the Workday system. The team also shares their Banner expertise with Huron, ensuring proper data mapping to Workday for seamless integrations.
As Workday tools are being integrated, the team is excited about the potential improvements in their daily work. Workday offers a more centralized management of integrations and a broad community of Workday developers and systems partners, which will enable W&M to bring new systems online more quickly. Although the daily work might not change immediately, the shift from Banner to Workday will open new avenues for efficiency gains in functional offices, including the automation of manual tasks.
Moreover, as the team's Workday skillset grows and their understanding of the opportunities available for improving business processes expands, their daily work is anticipated to improve in the future. The Integrations Team remains committed to seeking opportunities for efficiency gains and process improvements, setting a strong foundation for the future success of W&M’s technological landscape.
