Achieving Operational Excellence

An omnichannel approach to exceptional customer experience will provide a seamless and unified experience for the customer across all touchpoints, delivering a differentiated and consistent value to meet their needs. 

Enhance the customer experience with an effective and efficient omnichannel system, using three tactics:

1. Single phone line for support for users of business systems (ex: Concur, SIRI, eReq/Jaggaer, etc.)
2. Live chat service on specific webpages to provide immediate help, but also to gain insight into customers’ pain points. This includes support for business applications as well as interacting with service providers like University Facilities, Human Resources, and others.
3. Website self-service concept, where key tasks, guidelines, procedures, forms and subject matter experts are easily accessible.

• Faculty
• Staff
• Students
• External audiences who browse webpages

• Single phone line established
• Live chat project implementation starts 2/02/18, with expected go-live date 4/1/18
• Website is ongoing

• We recognize that organizations must create and sustain user experience strategies that optimize the end-to-end experience of completing a task across multiple devices and interaction channels.
• We understand that customers want to take control of their journeys and engage with organizations on many channels as they complete tasks.
• We know that customers don’t think in terms of channels and devices, so they will not understand or tolerate experiences that are fragmented across channels.
• We aim to create an environment where the customer experience can move with people.

Develop a dashboard in SIRI (the university's business intelligence reporting and analysis platform) delivering summarized information to academic chairs on various data pertinent to their department. These data areas include:

• Financial
• Human resources
• Student
• Research
• Philanthropy
• Procurement
• Space   

The Academic Chair dashboard in SIRI is intended to be used by academic chairs and the assistants to the chair in all academic departments across campus. Assistant and associate deans and business officers in the decanal units will also benefit from these reports and analyses.

• The Academic Chair dashboard has been piloted in the academic departments of the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as their dean's office.
• This dashboard was also demonstrated to the Unit Business Officers at their February 2016 meeting.
• The SIRI team is now in the process of making this dashboard available to all academic areas across the campus. 

The guiding principle for this project is to deliver the appropriate level of detail to the academic chairs. Too much information will result in confusion and information overload while not enough detail limits the utility to the chair.

Look to simplify and improve the current ePTF process. The goal is to have HR move away from data entry work (entering information submitted by ePTF and then entering into the SUNY HR System) and having department level transactions in the form of an improved ePTF - follow a workflow with review by HR - and then directly hit the SUNY HR system.  UB will need to work directly with the IT support at SUNY to make sure the new ePTF matches directly field to field when uploaded.

All departments that interact with ePTF transactions connected with all life and work events at UB during the life cycle of employees.

Effort of redesign to start March 2017 with the goal of an intended solution to be implemented to begin the 2018-19 fiscal year.

Make the process simple, improve the workflow, increase efficiencies for departments and HR and remove the need for paper transactions.

• Build a comprehensive and consistent service to assist new employees coming to UB when they relocate from outside of the area.
• Engage an external company to manage and facilitate a process for UB (moving, coordination of visits, real estate, travel, etc.).
• Conducted initial information gathering sessions with organizations that specialize in this service to help us identify what to place in an RFP to go out in Spring of 2017.
• The goal is for Human Resources to be the coordinator of the program and to provide this as a service that would not require immediate charge back to departments if they stay within parameters of the designed program.

Target audience includes all units that hire individuals from outside the area. The request for proposal (RFP) process and the program design will indicate if there are existing levels for assistance depending upon level of role in the organization.

RFP is scheduled for late Spring 2017 with a goal of offering the service beginning 2018.

• Save overall costs.
• Provide a consistent and high quality service and experience for all new employees recruited to UB.
• Build a simple and consistent financial process to administer.

Senior administrators, faculty and staff should have easy, well-supported electronic access to the data and information necessary to perform and manage their university functions, thereby eliminating the need to create shadow and supplemental systems.

• For every budget, planning and forecasting-related process, we will:
  • Identify the customers of the process.
  • Work with customers to determine their real needs.
  • Strive to provide them with outstanding customer service.
• We will treat information as a strategic asset that is:
  • Commonly defined.
  • Electronically captured once at its point of origin.
  • Appropriately shared across the entire institution.
• We will become an institution that makes data-based decisions through the use of easy-to-use management reporting processes and technologies.
• We will collaboratively develop common business processes and data across the entire institution, while still supporting the truly unique and compelling needs of our academic and academic support units.
• Customizations to the new system will be kept to an absolute minimum. Any request for a customization will be subject to a thorough business case review to justify its necessity.
• We will establish decision due dates to keep our projects on time and on budget. If these due dates are not met, the delayed decision will immediately be escalated and made by the appropriate decision maker. The project will then move on.
• We will work as a silo-free team to solve the problems of our students, faculty, staff and institution.
• We will create customer participation opportunities and two-way communications channels to ensure that our project choices meet real user needs.
• Full participation is expected - non-responsiveness or non-engagement implies agreement.
• All new information technology purchases related to budget, planning and forecasting must be reviewed and approved by the university VPCIO and VPFA.

A team of members from Facilities, Business Services and Resource Planning work together to create a multi-year utilities budget. The rolling 5-year financial plan has helped the university minimize commodity costs, prepare for volatility in energy prices and meet environmental stewardship goals by implementing energy conservation projects. By managing the utilities budget at a central level, fiscal risk is reduced, shortfalls are covered by the university, and surpluses are reinvested in the university.

The utility budget will:

• Be integrated into the UB annual budget process
• Support UB’s environmental stewardship
• Support UB’s goals and directions
• Be managed as a business enterprise model

The utility budget:

• Supports debt service for energy projects
• Supports specialized energy service contracts
