How Vertex Education Transformed a Near-Workday Departure Into Full Platform Expansion

Vertex Education had been on Workday for years, and as the organization grew to serve over 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 senior 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 help the platform keep pace with where Vertex was headed, and built on the foundation that was already there. Vertex didn’t leave. They expanded.

Join us to hear how it happened and what it means for your Workday investment.
