| Workday | Oracle PeopleSoft ERP | Workday Financial Management | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2017 | 2018 |
In 2017, The Ohio State University implemented Workday Financial Management as part of an enterprise program to replace Oracle PeopleSoft ERP and other campus administrative systems. Workday Financial Management in the ERP Financial category was provisioned as a cloud based core finance platform to standardize and simplify financial processes and reporting across the university.
The implementation centralized finance capabilities that align with ERP Financial functionality, including core financial accounting, consolidated reporting, business intelligence and analytics, and transaction processing workflows. Configuration work focused on reducing customizations and embedding standardized business rules to improve consistency and ease of use for end users.
Project scope extended beyond finance to encompass Human Resources and Student Information systems, and explicitly replaced auxiliary tools such as eReports, eRequest and eTravel. By consolidating those functions into Workday Financial Management and adjacent Workday modules, the program simplified administrative system footprints and reduced the number of disparate point tools across campus administrative units.
Governance for the Enterprise Project emphasized process standardization, readiness and training, and a consolidated operational support organization. The program published a project glossary and a frequently asked questions resource to drive adoption and to align stakeholders on new workflows and terminology.
Expected outcomes articulated by the university included standard and efficient business processes, effective and robust BI and analytics, consolidated reporting, and unqualified financial audits. The move to a cloud based Workday environment was also positioned to eliminate large future upgrade cycles and to address business and technical risk associated with the previous Oracle PeopleSoft ERP due to its age and customization.

| Labii | Legacy | Labii LIMS | Laboratory Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2022 | 2022 |
In 2022 The Ohio State University deployed Labii LIMS as part of its Laboratory Management tooling for clinical and research operations at the Wexner Medical Center in the United States. A staff testimonial on Labii's contact page documents use of Labii for laboratory documentation and vendor support, indicating operational use in clinical and research lab workflows.
The implementation centers on Labii LIMS and associated ELN capabilities, supporting electronic laboratory notebooks, sample and specimen records, protocol and SOP documentation, and audit-ready record keeping consistent with Laboratory Management functionality. Configuration and operational patterns are inferred to emphasize role-based access control, audit trails, and documentation versioning to meet clinical and research governance needs typical of LIMS and ELN deployments.
Operational scope is focused on clinical and research laboratories within the Wexner Medical Center, and the testimonial highlights improved responsiveness and professional support from Labii as part of ongoing vendor support. The Ohio State University Labii LIMS deployment functions as a centralized laboratory documentation and support platform within the Laboratory Management category for US-based clinical and research workflows.
