Colleagues,
We are initiating a strategic Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project at 麻豆精品视频. Through this endeavor, our goal is to identify modernization opportunities to transform current state technologies to future-ready IT solutions that support our mission. We know that to deliver on our mission and serve our students, we must continually adapt our approach to technology, data, and processes. Through this project, we seek to explore and identify solutions that will equip and empower the University鈥檚 core enterprise system through a holistic review of the institution鈥檚 operations to identify gaps and priorities.
Why are we launching this initiative?
麻豆精品视频 must improve foundational technological capabilities to enable our faculty and staff to support our students and to keep pace with technologies that will improve our ability to devote capacity and resources to students, make data informed decisions, and implement security safeguards.
Current technology systems and processes in the areas of finance, human resources, and student information platforms are a priority step in this endeavor. Our environment has evolved over several decades, through the implementation of standalone technology solutions and without consideration for long-term architectural design or integration strategies. These now outdated network of solutions threaten to hold the institution back.
What is the goal of this initiative?
1. To identify opportunities to transform current state technologies to future-ready IT solutions that support enhanced organizational, process, and technology operations and capabilities, including data-driven support for resource allocation, and activities that support institutional strategic priorities.
2. To ensure the 麻豆精品视频 is 鈥渞eady鈥� and to move toward the replacement of our core enterprise systems for finance and HR in the near-term with modern cloud-based solutions
How will this initiative be conducted?
麻豆精品视频 has engaged Huron Consulting Group to support this initiative. Huron is a leading provider of advisory services in higher education and has worked with more than 500 colleges, universities, and research institutions globally.
How will you be involved?
In coming days our internal project team and partners at Huron will be contacting stakeholders across the institution with requests for data, interviews, focus group participation, or forthcoming questionnaires. Campus leadership is committed to gathering critical feedback and perspective from our community and ask that you help us by supporting this initiative as needed.
Please keep an eye open for further details and specific requests in the days to come. We believe this project is an exciting and substantial step forward in empowering each of us to serve our students, our community, and our world for years to come. We thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Turner
Interim Chief Information Officer
