BSC Forum April 7, 1999 Update of the CUFS/HRS Replacement Project
INTRODUCTION • WHY are we doing this? • What do we hope to accomplish with a new system? • Huge cost – lots of work • Transition will be rocky; many process and organizational changes likely • BSCs – fortunate to have them at UNH • Should help with the implementation of RCM at UNH
IMPORTANT POINTS • Fully integrated HR and Finance functionality – our goal • Zero modifications policy: we are going to change process, procedures and organization, rather than customize software • Trying to maintain at least 90% current functionality
IMPORTANT POINTS (cont’d) • Cost will be a factor in a selection decision • ESC is responsible for vendor choice • Moratorium on all major systems initiatives touching CUFS or HR
WHAT WE KNOW • CUFS/VMS/VAX on its last legs • Scout Team performed Feasibility Study • Overall plan and budget approved • 4 vendors to look at: RFP out on March 12 • Vendor proposals due to USNH by April 19 • Core Team has been identified – (16 members)
WHAT WE KNOW (cont’d) • Advertise/hiring project leaders – in progress • Nesmith team space – renovations in progress • USNH reps attended 3 vendor user conferences • Selection process will involve campus-based review teams and opportunity for community input
WHAT WE KNOW (cont’d) • Selection of vendor by summer 1999, contract expected by October, 1999 • Grants management functionality to be implemented after finance and HR • Need full attention of Core team, Implementation teams and CIS – must limit other demands on their time
WHAT WE DON’T KNOW • Who the project implementation leadership will be • Who the vendor will be and what software products we will use • What the exact time lines will be • What USNH business processes will be affected in a major way • What the exact cost will be
