Workday has conducted preliminary validation and quality assurance activities, providing assessments and alignment checks on key functionality within the core finance modules. However, to ensure that all aspects of the implementation meet the state's objectives and standards, the IV&V consultant is expected to conduct an independent, comprehensive assessment. This includes revisiting and validating areas already examined by Workday, thus providing an impartial perspective on whether the solution aligns fully with the state's requirements and design specifications. The IV&V consultants's assessment is crucial for identifying any overlooked risks, discrepancies, or optimization opportunities, offering an additional layer of confidence that the implementation will meet both technical and operational requirements and needs across all impacted state agencies.

A Program IV&V consultant who is Workday certified is preferred.

Must have a minimum of:

• Ten years of software development and ERP configuration and implementation experience on projects comparable in size and scale to the One Washington program; or
• Ten years providing IV&V services to a project or program of comparable size.
