What’s happened since the last update?
Oracle Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) HR project
The HCM project team is completing the data conversions and application configurations required for HCM App2.0 Review sessions that are now scheduled to begin early November.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Finance project
The ERP Project Team has completed the App1.0 Review and Self-Guided Review sessions for all modules (General Ledger, Cash Management, Accounts Receivable, etc.). The new Chart of Accounts structure has been finalized, and preparations are underway for the App2.0 Review sessions planned to begin late November.
MaineStreet Campus Solutions (CS) Reimplementation project
The Business Process (BPA) sessions that ERP Analysts (ERPA), our CS reimplementation partner, conducted with UMS functional area staff are nearly complete. Sessions with faculty are scheduled for early October. The sessions were geared toward staff who are hands-on Campus Solutions experts within their functional areas. The objectives of the sessions were to:
- Gain a more comprehensive understanding of how users use Campus Solutions (the day-to-day experience).
- Identify MaineStreet customizations that could possibly be replaced by delivered functionality and those that will need to remain in place.
- Develop recommendations on how underutilized or new functionality could be implemented.
- Develop recommendations of how the system could benefit by incorporating more complimentary technical tools in Campus Solutions to improve the student, faculty, and staff user experience.
- Discuss possible business process improvements and best practices.
ERPA recently shared its initial set of recommendations with the UMS, which is the culmination of nearly a year of discovery work. The project team is currently developing a framework to review, prioritize, and make decisions regarding the recommendations, which will inform the design and project plan. For additional information about the Discovery Phase sessions and high-level observations, see the Campus Solutions Discovery Phase Report (opens in separate window).
