Our relationship began in August of 2016, when Kognitiv, Inc. was 5 employees strong, and Point Loma Nazarene University officially signed up as lifetime client #4. Since those days, and because of PLNU’s willingness to take on new modules and live on the cutting-edge of Workday capabilities, we’ve partnered to explore almost every area of Workday. As we approach our 5-year anniversary, we wanted to share a few highlights of our Workday journey.

We built a Workday Extend application to replace functionality from the prior Student Management system. The Extend application interfaced with an external system which tracked student attendance at weekly convocations.

• Allowed coordinators to create and manage weekly events, view and manage
  attendance, and bulk load exceptions.
• Allowed Students to view their attendance progression, convocation requirements, and view credited attendance.

“Kognitiv has been more than a vendor – they have truly partnered with our business in using the entire Workday platform. This includes, HR, payroll, accounting and finance, the student information system, big data (PRISM), and reporting. We see the members of the Kogntiv team as an extension of our staff.”
