What is the Repaving MaineStreet Initiative?The Repaving MaineStreet initiative consists of projects to transition the MaineStreet HR and Financials systems to Oracle cloud platforms and a reimplementation of MaineStreet Campus Solutions, our student information system. The initiative is designed to transform our MaineStreet environments with a focus on supporting UMS strategic priorities including unified accreditation, improving the end-user experience for students, faculty, and staff via mobile-friendly and easily accessed self-service functionality, adoption of best practices for process improvement and standardization by leveraging delivered platform functionality including workflow automation, and greater data consistency across modules to improve process efficiency and expand opportunity for inter-campus collaboration. What’s Happening?ERP Analysts (ERPA) and its sub-contractor Drivestream were selected to serve as our Implementation Partners during all phases of the Repaving MaineStreet initiative. The Oracle HCM Cloud (HR) and Oracle ERP Cloud (Finance) implementation projects kicked off together in early June with a go-live target of January 2024. The team is currently conducting Interactive Requirements and Design Workshops (IRDW) with representatives from all areas of HR and Finance. These workshops will help inform the design of the Oracle Cloud platforms and related business processes. The Campus Solutions Reimplementation project is currently in the analysis and discovery phase which will inform the overall project approach and timeline. What’s Next?After the Oracle Cloud Interactive Requirements and Design Workshops are completed, the HCM and ERP projects will move into an iterative design, development, and review phase during which the configurations for the Oracle Cloud platforms will be decided upon. While much preliminary information has been collected for the Campus Solutions Reimplementation project, additional discovery sessions and other opportunities for input from faculty, staff, and students are planned for the fall semester.
