Johns Hopkins Health System
1. Current ERP Being Left: The health system is currently using SAP as their enterprise resource planning system.
2. New ERP Being Adopted: The health system is transitioning to the Workday ERP system.
3. Timeline: The go-live date for the Workday system is projected for the second half of 2027.
4. Additional Details:
- The health system has been using SAP as their enterprise resource planning system since 2007.
- They have officially selected Workday to replace their current SAP ERP system. This selection is confirmed by multiple sources, including a press release from Workday and announcements regarding the Sightline project.
- The transition is part of a larger multi-year business modernization initiative called "Sightline," which indicates a structured approach to migrating to a new ERP vendor.
- The project timeline outlined involves distinct phases such as preparation, design and build, testing, training, and deployment, which are indicative of a comprehensive and actively managed transition.
- The transition aims to modernize business processes, enhance user experience, and improve data management and governance by moving from SAP to Workday.
Based on this information, there is strong evidence that the Johns Hopkins Health System is currently "in flight" with their ERP system transition as they are actively changing from SAP to Workday.

Mount Sinai Health System
1. What is the ERP that the health system is leaving?
The health system is leaving Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle SCM Cloud, and Oracle HCM Cloud.
2. What is the ERP that the health system is going to?
The health system is transitioning to Workday.
3. What is the timeline?
The specific timeline for the transition is not provided in the available evidence.
4. What are any other details?
- Previous Use of Oracle ERP: Mount Sinai Health System selected Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle SCM Cloud, and Oracle HCM Cloud in September 2018. This indicates that they have been using Oracle as their primary ERP system.
- Job Postings for Workday Positions: There are multiple job postings for roles such as "Workday System Analyst" and "Workday Analyst HRIS." These positions imply that the Mount Sinai Health System is either in the process of implementing Workday or preparing for its implementation, highlighting an active transition towards Workday. This suggests they are moving away from their current ERP (Oracle) to a new solution (Workday).
- Absence of Evidence of Remaining with Oracle: The influence of job postings and the lack of recent activity indicating a commitment to Oracle ERP solutions suggest a potential transition. If the health system were merely upgrading or continuing with Oracle ERP, there would likely be more evidence of such activities rather than the focus on Workday roles.
- Healthcare Industry Trends: While Workday is generally regarded as a stable choice within the healthcare sector, the specific focus on hiring Workday-specific positions suggests a commitment to shifting to this platform, especially in the context of the growing trend among healthcare organizations transitioning to more integrated systems like Workday for financial and human resources management.
### Conclusion:
Based on the evidence, it strongly indicates that Mount Sinai Health System is in the process of transitioning its ERP systems, from Oracle to Workday. The presence of job postings specifically relating to Workday and the lack of current commitments to Oracle point towards an ongoing shift rather than an upgrade within the same system. Thus, it can be stated with a good degree of confidence that Mount Sinai Health System is actively changing its ERP platform.

Presbyterian Healthcare Services
(1) What is the ERP that the health system is leaving?
Unknown.
(2) What is the ERP that the health system is going to?
Workday Financial Management and Workday HCM.
(3) What is the timeline?
The selection of Workday was confirmed in a press release from August 22, 2024, and was made in Q2 of fiscal year 2025, indicating they may still be in the implementation phase.
(4) What are any other details?
- Confirmation of Workday Selection: The press release from August 22, 2024, indicates that Presbyterian Healthcare Services selected Workday Financial Management and Workday HCM. While this confirms a selection, it does not explicitly state that they are currently utilizing Workday in full or when they went live with it.
- Job Postings: The various job postings mentioning Workday suggest that there is active recruitment for roles that require knowledge of the Workday system. This indicates that they may either be in the process of implementing Workday or preparing for a transition to it.
- No Definitive "Go-Live" Confirmation: There is no specific announcement regarding when Presbyterian Healthcare Services will go live with Workday, and the evidence indicates that the selection was made in Q2 of fiscal year 2025, which suggests they may still be in the implementation phase.
- Context of "In Flight": To be considered "in flight," the health system must be actively changing from one ERP vendor to another. Assuming they are transitioning from an existing ERP vendor to Workday (as indicated by the job postings focusing on Workday experience), this would qualify as being "in flight." However, if they were simply upgrading an existing system with the same vendor (like an upgrade from Oracle to a new version of Oracle), they would not be categorized as "in flight."
- Conclusion: Given that there is no evidence indicating that Presbyterian Healthcare Services has retained its previous ERP or is simply upgrading it (such as Oracle or Infor), and considering they have selected Workday for financial and HR management, it seems reasonable to conclude that they are in the process of changing their ERP system, implying they are indeed "in flight." However, this conclusion hinges on them transitioning away from any other ERP tool they previously used, which does not seem to be named here.
