As a result, several downstream data warehouses, enterprise reporting tools, and ancillary systems need to be retrofit to accommodate this change. The Office of Data, Academic Planning & Institutional Research (DAPIR) needs to analyze its existing systems for related impacts and make reasonable accommodations. These new solutions must be in place in alignment with the capabilities and timeline of the new Workday implementation.
