Alliance 2026 in Orlando brings together more than 1,500 higher education leaders focused on the technology that keeps campuses running. This year, the conversation is expanding to include new sponsors who are addressing the real operational and compliance gaps institutions face when adopting modern SaaS ERP systems.
As platforms like Workday Student become more common, colleges and universities are discovering that while SaaS provides scale and stability, it does not always meet every specialized business or regulatory need. New Alliance sponsors like SISSCORP are helping fill those gaps by building targeted applications that live directly within the Workday platform, supporting niche processes and evolving compliance requirements.
Alliance is not about product pitches. It is about meaningful conversations. Institutions are seeking clarity around cloud models like SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, and guidance on how to optimize the systems they already use. New sponsors bring expertise that helps campuses make smarter, more informed technology decisions.
Beyond implementation, these partners focus on long term success through subscription based solutions that evolve alongside institutional needs and regulatory change. The result is greater efficiency, reduced risk, and more confidence in day to day operations.
With only 10 sponsorship spots remaining, Alliance 26 offers a limited opportunity for new higher ed focused companies to engage directly with decision makers and demonstrate real value. If your organization is helping campuses run smarter inside modern ERP environments, this is where those conversations start.
Presentation at Alliance: 5578 – SISSCORP Applications and Workday – The Perfect Combination
Workday understands the need to address niche needs for schools that are using its Student Management module. That is why Workday created the Built-On Workday program allowing partners like SISSCORP to create applications that are housed within Workday to address key business needs and not require integrations. SISSCORP has created multiple applications to address these key business compliance requirements such as State Reporting, Campus Parking and Public Safety, NCAA compliance reporting, and many more! Come hear how SISSCORP can enhance, enable, and excite your Workday Student experience!
