Ready to find out what MSU Denver can do for you? We’ve got you covered.
MSU Denver recently began a multiyear effort to replace Banner HR, Banner Financials, and several external systems with Workday HCM (Human Capital Management) and Workday Financials. Implementation of this state-of-the-art, cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system will:
As part of this initiative, we will be redesigning numerous business processes, migrating data from Banner to Workday, performing extensive testing, migrating to Workday, and ultimately sunsetting several ancillary applications.
The goal of this initiative is to completely transform University business processes by implementing a modern, scalable, cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning solution that will effectively support the MSU Denver community for decades to come.

The primary benefits of implementing Workday at MSU Denver include:
University leadership is evaluating our Student Information System as well. Demonstrations took place in July and September, providing a look at specific functional areas of the system including student registration, degree auditing, transfer, reporting, and automation. Recordings of the demonstrations are available at:
A cross-functional working group is preparing a recommended path forward.
This initiative will be broken into three main phases:
In 2019, MSU Denver engaged Campus Works LLC to perform an ERP Assessment. Over the course of one week, the Campus Works team met with over 100 Roadrunners to gauge the prevailing opinion of the Ellucian Banner environment and appetite for change, and to make a recommendation for MSU Denver’s future ERP system strategy. In summary, Campus Works determined that the present Banner implementation was no longer effectively meeting the needs of the campus and recommended that MSU Denver consider a reimplementation or replacement of the platform.
With this in mind, in early 2020, Human Resources and Information Technology Services launched an RFP for a replacement HRIS solution with a willingness to consider both “add-on” solutions and full replacement platforms. Following a thorough bid process, Workday HCM was selected. An evaluation of the Workday Financials platform followed, and the University ultimately opted to proceed with a combined HCM/Financial implementation, supported by Collaborative Solutions LLC as the awarded implementation partner.
This initiative directly supports three of the five pillars in MSU Denver’s 2030 Strategic Plan:
Pillar III: Civic and Economic Catalyst
Pillar IV: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Pillar V: Organizational Agility and Sustainability
