‘Demo Days’ offers sneak peak at new business systems

All faculty and staff are encouraged to attend UGA’s OneSource “Demo Days” to preview portions of the PeopleSoft Finance and Human Resource and Hyperion (budget planning) systems, ask questions and provide feedback. Demo Days will consist of four identical sessions repeated over two days, Aug. 30-31.

Attendees will sign up for one of the four time slots, either morning or afternoon, on one of the two days.

There will be nine presentations, each in its own room. Each presentation will repeat every 20 minutes.

Attendees can alternate through rooms, either attending all presentations in a round-robin fashion or attending just specific topics of their choosing.

The four identical sessions are Aug. 30, 8:30-11:30 a.m.; Aug. 30, 1:30-4:30 p.m.; Aug. 31, 8:30-11:30 a.m.; and Aug. 31, 1:30-4:30 p.m. They will all be held at the Georgia Center, Room K/L.

Check-in begins 30 minutes before session start time.

Those who plan to attend one of these sessions are asked to RSVP at https://ugeorgia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_aWuOllPGtfr1usZ&Q_JFE=0 by Aug. 11.

Demo Days topics include Faculty Self Service; HR Manager Self Service; HR Employee Self Service; Payroll, Time and Approval, and Leave Requests; Purchasing and Paying for Goods and Services; Travel Expenses; Planning and Managing Budgets; Spending; and WorkCenters.

Demo Days also will be held at the Tifton and Griffin campuses in September. Additional information on the specific dates and times will be forthcoming.

Demo Days are not training sessions. They are designed to give UGA faculty and staff a “sneak peek” at some of the new system functionality. Formal training opportunities will occur in advance of the Hyperion and PeopleSoft “go-live” dates. Training information will be communicated at a later date.

UGA’s OneSource project is a comprehensive business transformation project to adopt leading business practices, to align systems with those used by the University System of Georgia and to utilize a new finance and human resources administration system that is integrated, efficient and modern and supports data-driven decision making.
