Administrative Transformation Program (ATP) Updates | |
|
Workday Go-Live Revised to 2025
On October 6, 2023, the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents approved a revised timeline for the Administrative Transformation Program Workday implementation. Go-live is now scheduled for July 2025, revised from July 2024. End-user training will begin in March 2025.
The revision will provide adequate time to prepare for a successful implementation. We will continue to partner with ATP as we get ready for the transition to Workday.
ATP will standardize finance, human resources, and research administration processes, such as payroll and expense reporting, across the UW System. To learn more about Workday and subscribe to the ATP Touchpoints newsletter, visit the ATP website.

What Is ATP?
The Administrative Transformation Program (ATP) is on a mission to rebuild finance, human resources, and research administration systems at every institution within the University of Wisconsin System. The goal is to reduce the complexity of the current administrative environment and refocus valuable staff time on UW’s mission of education, research, and outreach.
To make this vision a reality, we’re working with people across the UW to standardize processes and implement new, best-in-class technology to support these essential functions.
Technology
To standardize business processes and integrate our systems, ATP will implement Workday and Huron Research Suite to replace HRS, SFS, and hundreds of ancillary systems across the UW.
People
ATP's success depends on knowledgeable staff who apply their time, talent, and expertise — both on and off the program team.
Process
Our business process redesign work is based on a tiered governance structure and tested methodology that includes faculty and staff from across the UW System.

Sustainability Spotlight: Winter Salt Awareness Week | |
|
With the onset of snow and ice, salt trucks come into action to enhance road safety. “Wisconsin Winter Salt Awareness Week" is scheduled from Jan. 22 to 26 this year, and UW-Parkside is continuing to use the best tools for managing ice on the roads, sidewalks, and parking lots on campus.
The application of salt to roads can effectively lower the freezing point of water and prevent the formation of ice. Unfortunately, up to 30% of typical road salt applications are wasted due to rock salt blowing or bouncing off the road during application. Salt causes corrosion to vehicles and infrastructure, leading to the premature aging of roads and bridges. Ultimately, salt will wash into rivers and lakes, raising the salinity of water bodies over time and posing a hazard to plants and aquatic life.

EV Charging is Coming to UW-Parkside! | |
|
Why is UW-Parkside installing electric vehicle charging stations?
UW-Parkside is committed to being a leader in the community by showcasing emerging technologies. The number of electric vehicles present on campus has increased each year for both commuter and residential students. There are currently no on-campus options for residential students to charge their vehicles. For off-campus students and staff who rent, charging access can present a barrier to entry if the property manager does not install on-property charging options. Providing this convenient amenity will help meet the needs of students, staff, and guests to our campus and improve their experience. Station usage data can also be worked into curriculum, providing students with real-world understanding of how these technologies work.
When will the stations be up and operating?
The stations are planned to be operational in fall of 2023. Stay tuned - we will host an opening event to allow staff and students to check out the new installation and practice using the chargers!
