How Vertex Education Transformed a Near-Workday Departure Into Full Platform Expansion
Vertex Education had been on Workday for 4.5 years. As the organization grew to serve over 400 schools and 258,000 students across 14 states, what had worked at implementation was no longer keeping pace. A list of 30 pain points had mounted and leadership was in conversations about whether Workday was still the right fit.
What the situation needed was not a new system. It was the right support to help Workday grow with them.
Okorio ran a Dr. Workday diagnostic, worked alongside Workday to close the gaps, and helped Vertex see what the platform was capable of at their current scale. Vertex didn’t leave. They expanded, adding Adaptive Planning and Grants Management.
Getting the most from Workday starts with having the right partner behind it.
