Our teams are now focused on configuring the PeopleSoft applications and developing the technical objects needed to provide the functionality that UTRGV needs. This includes activities such as loading historical data into PeopleSoft, developing enhancements, data exchange interfaces, reports and workflow processes. We look forward to entering the testing phase very soon!

One of the most important aspects of a successful implementation is having proper training for our end user community. That is why we are preparing to conduct training for the PeopleSoft 9.2 FMS/HCM project starting in July. End user training for the Campus Solution system will be later as those modules approach their go-live dates. In addition, training resources will still be available after go-live so that users can refer back to them as much as they need to. For more details, please see the Training and Transition section of this newsletter below.

As we communicated in the November issue of our newsletter , the PeopleSoft 9.2 website is live and can be found at http://www.utrgv.edu/peoplesoft/ . Here you will find valuable information. Our goal over the next few weeks is to add responses for the many great questions that we have received. These will be found in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section of the site. Please visit the website frequently so you may see these updates.

As always, we want to hear from you about any questions, suggestions or concerns. This can be done through the Contact Us form on our website (located here ) or by sending an email to peoplesoft@utrgv.edu

Training for FMS/HCM is scheduled to begin in July. We plan to offer targeted training based on roles and responsibilities. There will be various modes of instruction, including face-to-face in a computer lab setting, video clips, job aids as well as User Productivity Kit (UPK) that allows the end user to access help from within PeopleSoft in various modes. Training dates and schedules will be announced through various means, including direct email to end users, UTRGV Messenger notifications and the PeopleSoft website, in advanced to give users sufficient time to plan.

Once we are live, a PeopleSoft Support System, which will consist of a well-defined process that end users can follow, online resources and individuals that can assist the end users, will be made available to help. Our goal is to provide end users with a support system that they can rely on as they learn to adopt PeopleSoft..

Also, the Office of Human Resources (HR) has been providing training sessions on Organizational Change Transforming and Leading in preparation for the transition to PeopleSoft. These sessions explore the dynamics of organizational change, highlight proactive techniques to prepare for change, identify key resources to facilitate the change process, and reveal strategies for optimal effectiveness. If you have not already attended, we encourage you to register for an upcoming session through the UTRGV Training Services portal at www.utrgv.edu/training .
