What’s happening with systems that fall outside of the current myUFL?
UF’s bolt-on systems that currently integrate with PeopleSoft are being evaluated for their potential to be replaced by or integrated with Workday. Already, a new identity management system powered by SailPoint will launch this fall, modernizing UF’s security role request system. And work is underway to replace UF’s current Online Promotion & Tenure system with a new UF Faculty Excellence and Advancement system powered by Academic Analytics next spring.
That’s just scratching the surface, but we will be sure to keep you updated with more information as work gets underway. We’ve established a Transition Plan section of the Empowering UF website designed to provide ongoing updates about this work.
So what’s next?
Things will pick up speed this fall, when we begin to develop a high-level project and resource plan and further evaluate our integrations. An initial review of the quality of our technical data will inform conversations about how we can clean and prepare data sources to be ready for the Workday system. And initial discussions of our chart of accounts will inform our approach to a new “Foundation Data Model,” or FDM.
We intend to keep you informed and involved throughout. Watch for another update from us in August with information about how you can learn more and get involved in the months ahead. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or thoughts you may have along the way.
