DAN LAYZELL: With
Capstone Convergence

3
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:06.960
were going to empower
our faculty and staff

4
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:08.720
to do the job that
they need to do

5
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:11.333
and the work that they need
to do to support our mission.

00:00:11.333 --> 00:00:13.500
MIKE SHELTON: Now, the work
we were launching today,

7
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:14.780
really, I think is a reflection.

8
00:00:14.780 --> 00:00:17.322
We look at that team of what we
can accomplish when we really

9
00:00:17.322 --> 00:00:18.820
come together as a University.

10
00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:21.060
This was not really
about choosing software,

11
00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:23.360
it was really about
building a foundation that

12
00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:26.660
will support the University of
Alabama for decades to come.

13
00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:29.600
PETER J. MOHLER: We are going to
be working with the Workday team

14
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.080
to be doing things that
no other university

15
00:00:32.080 --> 00:00:35.160
or no other organization
across the world is doing now.

16
00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:36.460
Let's take some chances.

17
00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:39.400
Let's explore some of these
new areas of data analytics

18
00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:41.640
and new AI to make
sure that we're

19
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.626
operating at the very, very
front of higher education.

20
00:00:46.626 --> 00:00:48.280
MIKE SHELTON: This
work really gives us

21
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.300
a resilient, scalable
technology ecosystem,

22
00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:56.400
one that supports better data,
faster insights, and really more

23
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.360
responsive services
across our whole campus.

24
00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:00.820
DAN LAYZELL: Let
me emphasize this.

25
00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:03.360
This is not just
about technology.

26
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:06.377
It's about creating more
consistency, more transparency,

27
00:01:06.377 --> 00:01:07.960
and a better experience
for the people

28
00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:11.440
who rely on our administrative
processes every day.

29
00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:13.520
Capstone Convergence
represents a commitment

30
00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:15.520
to invest in our
future and build

31
00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:19.080
a modern, integrated foundation
that will support the next 20

32
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:21.280
plus years of growth
and innovation

33
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:22.720
at the University of Alabama.
