New and enhanced feature highlights in the FY14 model • Performance is enhanced. • There is now a Find function. • Users can find a specific department that prompts the model to filter for funds associated with that department. • Users can budget specific purpose funds at the fund level. • Users who prefer budgeting specific purpose funds at the aggregate will continue to do so – there is no loss of functionality. • Danforth users will have a transfers tab at the school level. • There are many similarities between the FY13 and FY14 models. • Adapting to the new models may be painless. Revenue & Expense Topics
Training issues to consider for FY14 budgeting models. • Many existing users require an overview of model changes. • Some users with more/different responsibilities require targeted training. • New users require more in-depth model training but we expect few new users. FY14 Training
Ideas for training methods include: FY14 Training
Webinars where specific model changes are demonstrated. • Compensation budgeting model • Revenue & Expense budgeting model including • General Operating • Specific Purpose • Pro: A large population can be reached efficiently. • Con: Generic material does not apply to all users. FY14 Training
Brief pre-recorded topic based web sessions that include specific tab functionality. • Pro: Users can go directly to a topic of interest at any time. • Con: The pre-recorded session may not answer a user’s specific question. • Department training • Pro: Training material can be specifically directed to the needs of a department. • Con: Many trainers/ training sessions are required. FY14 Training
One-on-one training • Pro: Training material can be specifically directed to the needs of an individual. Individual users probably get the most benefit from one-on-one training. • Con: Many trainers/ training sessions are required. • Classroom training • Pro: Users get hands-on training and can ask questions in class. • Con: Generic material does not apply to all users and training classes move too quickly/too slowly because of a wide variety of users. FY14 Training
Conclusions regarding training • Training needs to be timely, useful, and will require a combination of methods. • We will contact department representatives about training requirements. • Internal staff is the best judge of training needs. • Training will begin in October 2012. • We will send a training schedule via e-mail and also post information on the RAPS website. FY14 Training
