We are excited to be preparing for the implementation of our new financial system. While the partner for this project has not yet been selected, the actions we are taking now will position us well for their arrival. To make these actions easier for you, and to give you a better idea of your critical role in this project, we have created two resources: a SharePoint dashboard that puts all the tasks for this project at your fingertips, and a brief video overview of your role that you will find on that dashboard. 

These elements will be particularly helpful in our current focus on reviewing business processes and external reporting.  

With the help and insight of more than 180 individuals, the current state of business processes used by University departments and colleges were documented. By understanding how we do business and where the challenges lie, we can identify the opportunities for standardization of future business processes that will be part of implementing Oracle ERP Cloud. This documentation will be heavily relied upon during configuration of the new system and your knowledge of workflows, approvals, and rules will be particularly advantageous. Additionally, we are cataloging reports containing University financial data that are prepared for external recipients.

What we need from you

  • Business Processes: you or your delegate(s) should review the information provided here. While you do not have to review all of it, please do review the areas that impact your business. 
  • External Reporting: Simply add the types of external reports your unit prepares to the spreadsheet here and attach examples.

This feedback is needed no later than May 31, 2022. We will be hosting office hours, which you can access via the appropriate SharePoint pages, beginning April 22, 2022, for those who would like additional guidance or who may have questions.
