The full suite of business rules for state transactions have
been programmed into the ePTF application within the QA environment
and are now under final review by HR. These rules are expected to
be rolled into production by February 2008. Once complete, the team
will turn its attention to the Research Foundation (RF) replacement
which will use the state model as a guide for a faster project
turn-around. At present, the rules for RF have been collected; next
steps are to conduct a gap analysis. The University at Buffalo
Foundation (UBF) system will follow.
Make the process of requesting personnel transactions easier for
units, departments, and individual PI’s by creating a web
based interface that can be pre-populated with information from
existing systems thereby reducing the need to “look up”
information in multiple systems; and increasing the speed at which
requests can be made. Integrate the web based tool with the process
changes that resulted from the HR Transformation initiative.
