PeopleSoft Project Implementation Update Status as of October 16
PeopleSoft Project Implementation Update • UT Austin selected Workday as the new software to replace DEFINE. They are currently in planning stages for the implementation project. DEFINE and related systems supporting UT will be retired. • UTShare PeopleSoft project is tracking at 50% of 63% according to project plan for the March 1st go-live. • Campuses continue to validate DEFINE conversion data in PeopleSoft and perform Integration testing. • During Integration testing (Round 1) several system issues were uncovered in HCM and FMS that will require manual workarounds for the March 1st go-live. • UTShare PeopleSoft go-live is expected to be difficult and tough. Central Processing areas will be initially faced with challenges due to manual clean-up of data anomalies from conversion and manual workaround processes. • We ask everyone for their support through the corrective measures of PeopleSoft that will likely occur over an extended period of time. • While transition from DEFINE to PeopleSoft will be challenging, it will ultimately benefit and support UTSA’s journey to Tier One status.

Training Approach Ensure all UTSA employees are trained for effective and efficient utilization of the UTShare / PeopleSoft System. UTShare/PeopleSoft training will help to strategically guide end-users from the DEFINE, HRMS and Point Plus data systems onto PeopleSoft’s Financial Management System (FMS) and Human Capital Management (HCM) System. PeopleSoft Training • Goal:To provide pertinent UTShare/PeopleSoft training across campus in partnership with project Core Subject Matters Experts (SMEs) and training instructors.
