The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is a prestigious research institution renowned for its commitment to excellence in education, research, and innovation. With a rich history spanning over 150 years, UNL has a reputation for producing graduates who are well-prepared for successful careers and leadership roles in various fields.
Previously, UNL faced significant challenges managing their HR and finance processes. Each of the university’s departments had its own staff responsible for managing these complex procedures, resulting in over 120 different practices scattered across the campus.
The lack of standardization resulted in delays, errors, and difficulties in tracking and managing HR and finance operations effectively.
Recognizing the pressing need for a standardized approach to streamline and enhance these processes, UNL took proactive steps by creating a dedicated department called Shared Services. This department was tasked with identifying and seeking a digital solution that could bring consistency and efficiency to these critical processes. The goal was to streamline workflows, eliminate inconsistencies, and enhance overall productivity.
