In preparation for a new, cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that will streamline critical HR and Finance processes across all of Clemson, the University has created specialized workstreams to help plan, develop and implement this far-reaching modernization initiative. These workstreams include HR, Finance and IT teams tasked with preparing for the first new Clemson ERP in more than two decades.
The IT workstream, consisting of Clemson IT professionals from within CCIT (Clemson Computing and Information Technology), is building the foundation for the new ERP. This team will bridge any gaps between the functionality of the new ERP and the unique HR- and Finance-related IT usage of Clemson faculty, staff and student workers.
While the University's new ERP will support as many standardized business processes as possible, there may be no one-size-fits-all solution in some instances. In these cases, the IT workstream will develop innovative solutions that deliver an outstanding user experience for impacted Clemson employees, as well as external vendors who will use the new ERP.
Five specific teams make up Clemson's ERP-focused IT workstream:
With these service-focused teams, the IT workstream is positioned to support the rollout of the new ERP and create a close partnership among the Clemson IT, HR and Finance functional areas tasked with planning, building, testing and deploying the new ERP.
In the months and years ahead, the IT, Finance and HR workstreams will continue to play pivotal roles in the design, development, testing and deployment of new ERP. User groups-a cross-section of Clemson faculty, staff and student workers-also will participate by providing feedback on newly designed HR and Finance processes and the comprehensive training modules that will be available to affected Clemson faculty and staff.
After the conclusion of a robust procurement process, when Clemson will announce the vendor selected to help implement the new ERP, the IT workstream will work directly with that vendor to turn the University's ERP plans into reality.
General questions about Clemson's new ERP can be submitted via the "Ask a Question" webform.
