WORKDAY SYSTEM BUSINESS ANALYST

One of the country’s most selective public research universities, Clemson University serves a uniquely driven and highly accomplished student body.

Ranked consistently as one of the best national public university by U.S.News & World Report, Clemson is a science- and engineering-oriented college dedicated to teaching, research and service. Founded in 1889, we remain committed both to world-class research and a high quality of life. In fact, 91 percent of our seniors say they’d pick Clemson again if they had it to do over.

Clemson’s retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country for public universities. We’ve been named among the best values by Kiplinger magazine in 2013, and SmartMoney in 2012 ranked us No. 7 in student return on investment.

Our beautiful college campus sits on 1,400 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of Hartwell Lake. But we also have research facilities and economic development hubs throughout the state of South Carolina — in Greenville, Greenwood, Columbia and Charleston.

Workday@Clemson

Clemson University is migrating primary human resources, finance processes and systems to our new cloud-based enterprise resource platform (ERP), Workday@Clemson. Ultimately, this investment will replace an antiquated system with a cutting-edge, intelligently designed one. Workday@Clemson will serve as a highly coordinated system ideal for providing a smooth user experience for faculty, staff and administrators alike, all while supporting our University's strategic plan, Clemson Elevate.

Our current HR and Finance systems are outdated. They predate the first ever webpages and the science of texting as a form of communication. A host of workaround systems and processes frustrate faculty and staff trying to complete recurring tasks like requesting a new hire. A new system that simplifies processes, removes disruption and keeps faculty and staff focused on high-priority work will keep everyone engaged.

By investing in this new system, we will effectively transition efficiently and strategically to a new system that supports both the efforts of Clemson Elevate as well as the needs of our students, faculty, staff and partners.
