Improvements in technology over the past decade have transformed engagement, interaction, and information sharing — from our personal devices to our professional environments. Through the Sightline program, Johns Hopkins will engage employees across the enterprise to create and implement modernized business processes and technology that enhance the workplace experience.
What is Sightline?
Sightline is a multi-year program across Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Health System. Sightline aims to modernize business processes and introduce advanced technology solutions that support better ways of working across key mission-supporting functions such as human resources, finance, procurement, and sponsored research.
Modernizing business processes and implementing next-generation technology
The goal is to work more efficiently and effectively, allowing renewed focus on learning, research, and patient care.
Why Sightline?
A new technology platform is needed to take full advantage of the considerable updates to business-support solutions. Sightline met an important milestone in July 2024 with the selection of Workday as the enterprise’s technology platform that will replace SAP in 2027. Focusing on updating business processes in step with introducing a new technology platform will enable new ways of working that prioritize mission-critical needs, drive standardization, and elevate accountability, service quality, and compliance.
Participation is key to Sightline’s success
Employee input, collaboration, and participation are essential throughout this program to evaluate, select, implement, and adopt a new technology solution. The program will engage employees to provide feedback, help design future processes, analyze and test new processes and technology workflows, and help Sightline promote and explain changes and new capabilities to peers.
