FAQs

Why are we replacing our current financial and human resource systems?

Replacing our financial and human resource systems is a milestone in the UofM's administrative capability that aligns with the Ascend Strategic Plan. Utalizing Oracle Cloud will modernize our systems and processes and lays the foundation for dramatically improving access to data. A modern administrative system will deliver functionality that is currently distributed across several systems, meaning campus will have one reliable, accessible source of truth for business process execution and reporting. This will reduce the administrative burden associated with conducting basic business processes. Finally, we will have the ability to transform how work is done in the future by converting manual processes to automated procedures that save time, increase accuracy and enhance our reporting ability.
