New Workday Higher Education Practice Helps Organizations Plan, Implement, and Optimize ERP Transformation
Hancock, Michigan, April 13, 2026 – David Kent Consulting (Kent), a higher education technology consulting firm with more than 25 years of experience, today announced the launch of its dedicated Workday practice to help colleges and universities plan, implement, and optimize Workday ERP systems.
The on-premises ERP systems higher education has relied on for decades are approaching end of life. For many institutions, moving to the public cloud is a proven bridge strategy that buys time while the SaaS market matures, and it is a path Kent has supported for years. For those ready to make the full SaaS transition now, a number of options have emerged, and Workday has become a leading contender as its Student product has matured and adoption has accelerated. David Kent, President and Founder: “We’ve spent more than 25 years working alongside higher education institutions through their most complex technology challenges. As our clients move to Workday, the decision was straightforward – we follow them, because we know their data, their operations, and we know we can help them navigate it better than anyone else.”
Kent’s approach is built on higher education depth. Every consultant brings a minimum of 10 years of direct higher education experience, not just tech or IT experience, meaning when an institution asks about data conversion, student systems, or financial aid, they are talking to someone who has already solved that problem at a campus like theirs. Ryan Kent, Chief of Staff: “What we hear from institutions is that they want a partner who understands higher education, not just the software. They need someone who understands the nuances of student systems, financial aid, finance, and HR in a higher education environment, and works alongside their team to build lasting capability. That is the standard we have held for 25 years, and it is exactly how we are building this practice.”
Kent’s Workday services span readiness and strategic alignment, implementation support, and post-go-live optimization, with focus on Banner-to-Workday data conversion, integrations, reporting governance, testing and UAT, and staff augmentation. The firm has served more than 200 colleges and universities over its 25-year history. For institutions beginning or accelerating their Workday journey, Kent is ready to help.
