UCSB -> UCLA Financial Systems Conversion • Assumptions / Agreements • UCSB will follow UCLA business processes and utilize UCLA systems as-is (no or very limited modifications specifically for UCSB) • Cost of system conversion and integration will be paid by UCSB • Cost of on-going operations will be neutral (UCLA will neither make or lose money) • Initial Concerns • UCSB has not (yet) elected to utilize UCLA services and the business process changes in some areas may be significant • UCSB has concerns about the level of data transparency afforded by the UCLA financial reporting systems • UCSB not likely to use UCLA’s version of PPS (particularly with the system-wide initiative moving forward) • UCSB would like to use UCLA’s student billing and receivables (BAR) system but the required integration with UCSB student systems is a concern
