Workday Student is a cloud-native student information system that addresses the challenges of institutions staying current on their systems and accelerates the wider SIS modernization trend. The system is delivered through a true multitenant cloud platform and provides features such as mobility and workflow as standard. According to Ovum's 2016/17 ICT Enterprise Insights survey, investments in student information systems will happen at a faster rate than any other core application over the next 18 months. Workday's announcement of its intention to build a cloud-native SIS in 2013 put pressure on other SIS vendors and the next generation of SIS solutions is beginning to emerge.
