PeopleSoft Program Guiding Principles

Our Guiding Principles set the direction of our efforts.

Purpose

Provide leadership as to how UTRGV will conduct business as a university and academic medical center to support its tripartite mission of education, research and clinical enterprise.

Governance

Address decisions that impact the institution. Such decisions will be made in a timely manner so they do not impede the project timeline. Decisions will follow the established project governance structure and escalation path.

Systemness

Striving to demonstrate behaviors that reflect the “whole” of the enterprise (School of Medicine and University), employing leading practices where possible, rather than operating in individual silos. Decisions should be made from an enterprise perspective, regardless of the specific software solution that is implemented.

Adopt Leading Practices

All existing business priorities, policies and practices must be identified, evaluated, and challenged using the following criteria: simplification, efficiency, consistency, effectiveness and compliance.

Communication

Promote regular, open and honest, two-way communication with stakeholders (such as UT Share; other campus organizations, including but not limited to UTHSCSA, UTMB, UT Tyler, UT Arlington; and external parties) throughout the program and across the pillars about design, key decisions, and status.

Resources and Solutions

  • Acknowledge the investment that UTRGV has made in current or existing solutions and continue to support the selected platform.
  • Leverage functionality that is already delivered by PeopleSoft 9.2, and then leverage functionality already developed by UTShare. Use new customization or ancillary systems as a last resort.
  • Escalate gaps to UT SIS Pillar Director to develop a solution to be reviewed by operating committee and project management. Similarly, for analytics and reports, leverage PeopleSoft 9.2 and Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OBIA) pre-built reports, then UTShare developed reports, and build new reports as a last resort.

Data Quality

Our goal on data quality should be to have 100% accurate data at the point of entry and to leverage PeopleSoft dropdown lists and other data quality filters with the aim to fix erroneous data at the source.

Transition Management

UTRGV community will be prepared to use the new system through effective and frequent communications, training, and engagement throughout the project.

  • Validate accuracy of all data (conversions, interfaces, etc.) before loading into PeopleSoft.
  • Design system configuration with long term reporting needs in mind instead of temporary solutions.
  • Automate data conversions data loads if possible.
