About WaveWorks

WaveWorks is our new cloud-based information technology platform. WaveWorks runs on Oracle Cloud replacing our previous, aging information systems for finance, budget & planning, and human resources, allowing us to adopt best practices in these areas and offering vastly better functionality than our current systems.

Guiding Principles

Utilize proven cloud vendor with software industry best-practice processes
Focus on essential business functions as a priority
Resource and staff appropriately throughout the project, from kickoff to post go-live
Intensive, regular communication
Implementation will be an iterative design process
Transparency and inclusion: end users should be aware and included in design, and change management efforts should be prominent
Simplification and standardization, favor "out-of-box" over customization
One system of record (single source of truth for our data)

Why is Tulane making this change?

Tulane's HR and finance operations relied on our legacy EBS on-premise system, which reaches end-of-life in 2030
We will replace EBS with WaveWorks to enhance our daily work lives and ensure we are all better able to focus on our important core mission and objectives
WaveWorks will provide many benefits:
- Vastly better functionality
- Business transformation through best practice processes, capabilities, and tools
- Greatly enhanced organizational efficiency
- Connected data in a unified platform
