What’s Happened Since the Last Update?
Oracle Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) HR project
The team is reviewing and finalizing cloud application configurations and data conversions in preparation for the Phase 1 Recruiting User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and the July 1 Go-live. Efforts are also underway to prepare for the Phase 2 Application Reviews.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Finance project
In March, the ERP (Finance) project team completed the second round of Application Review and Self-guided Review sessions for the Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, and Cash Management modules. The team is now focused on updating configurations and converting data based on the Application Review results in preparation for the third round of Application Reviews planned for late May through early June.
MaineStreet Campus Solutions (CS) Reimplementation project
The teams are reviewing and making decisions regarding low-to-medium-effort recommendations for optimizing the Campus Solutions system while evaluating and prototyping several medium-to-high-effort recommendations. This includes exploring the utilization of CommGen (Communications Generation) functionality in the Admissions and Financial Aid functional areas, planning for necessary updates to the Financial Chart of Accounts, and devising a solution to identify programs in Campus Solutions that lead to licensure. Recommendations already approved for implementation in our current environment are in progress, with the first recommendation completing the comprehensive proposal, approval, and implementation process in early April.
The technical team is closely collaborating with the functional area and ERP Analysts teams during the build-out of the PeopleTools 8.6 environment, which is scheduled to move into production in early June. This will provide the required functionality to proceed with the planning, development, and implementing of additional recommendations.
What’s Next?
- April – May: HCM Recruiting, Onboarding, and Core HR SIT and UAT
- May – June: End User Training
- June: PeopleTools 8.6 Upgrade for Campus Solutions
