  12. What’s the New MyU Portal? What the Portal will be An aggregator: a centralized place to find tools and information The access point for PeopleSoft systems An easier, more effective place to do the work of the U What the Portal won’t be A space for new software development The umn.edu homepage An interactive collaboration space Magic.

  13. The point of the New MyU: To help people be successful getting their business done at the U.

  14. HRMS Process Framework

  15. HRMS Major Changes Appointment Data: • Simplify overall structure and better use Position data • Use more delivered processes • Improve reporting and data integrity What’s in it for me? • Easier to understand an employee’s current assignment(s) • Fewer records = easier searching Recruiting Solutions: • New vendor for on-line hiring processes • Integrated data avoids duplicate entries • Address user pain points What’s in it for me? • New delivered hiring functionality, directly integrated into the HRMS system

  16. HRMS Major Changes Time & Labor/Absence Management: • Implement electronic timekeeping for hourly employees • Implement electronic leave request option for all employees • Implement workflow for approvals and delegations What’s in it for me? • Timekeeping, absence requests, and approvals via Employee Self-Service. Payroll Accounting Distribution Entry: • Separate job functions for hire and accounting • Better use of combo codes (appointment, position, department) • Implement custom front end for ease of distributions What’s in it for me? • Move to delivered processes behind the scenes for most users • Improved accuracy and increased efficiency

  17. What can you expect from Finance? • The Finance upgrade is primarily a technical upgrade. There is plenty that is NOT changing in EFS. • RRC Managers and Cluster Directors are in the know • Communications about specific changes will be targeted toward users with access to current functionality • PCardmoving to the Expense report is one of the bigger changes, and there is a sneak peek • Contingency processes for purchasing and payments will be available during the actual system conversion • Check out the Finance work stream web pages for detailed information

  18. Reporting &Data Management Goals: • Meet day one reporting and data needs • Align central reports to business processes Reporting Center in the New MyU • Report organization similar to UMReports • Consolidated catalog of U-wide reports

  19. myU Portal UM Reports Reporting Center UM Analytics PeopleSoft

  20. Major Changes - Student System Moving away from custom-built applications to delivered self-service functionality • Faculty Center (associated with teaching) • Advisor Center • Student self-service

  21. Faculty Instructional Center The Faculty Center is one location for completing many tasks associated with teaching classes: • Class schedule • Class roster • Mid-term grades • Final grades • Student notifications Sneak peek available at upgrade.umn.edu

  22. Faculty Support:Situation Analysis • Faculty and instructors will have significant changes in the interface they use for administrative tasks.   • Faculty and instructors rely on staff to help them when they are faced with unfamiliar interfaces. • There is not a single defined role for that “go to” staff member

  23. Student Self-Service Students will have one place to go to: • Register for classes • View their account statement • View their grades • Other tasks related to their academic life at the University They will access all of these functions through the new MyUportal.

  24. How do we get there from here?

  25. What can you expect from us? • Timing, pacing, and targeting of communication determined per business process • Better to show than just tell • Video & online content / demos • Training will be process-focused and multi-modal: format depends on needs • Responsive to your questions and requests for information whenever possible
