Why are we doing this?

The Current Environment

PPS is over 30 years old and no longer meets evolving operational needs of the University.

– Limitations create redundancies and process inefficiencies system-wide.

– Eleven (11) different variations of PPS in use today which are costly to maintain and support.

– Local customizations have made system updates and maintenance difficult.

5

The Solution

• Replace PPS with Oracle’s PeopleSoft payroll and HR systems.

• Standardize and streamline Payroll and HR/APO processes UC-wide.

• Centralize transactional related processes within the UCPath Center.

Implement Enabling Technology

Streamline and Standardize Processes

Centralize Transactional

Activities

When Complete There Will Be…

• A single payroll and HR solution for all employees UC-wide.

• Simplified and consistent HR, payroll and academic personnel transactional processes across all UC locations.

• A strong and flexible infrastructure which enables future growth and improvement, meets the core needs of each location and improves service quality, accuracy and efficiency.

• Standard technology, consistent business processes and a shared services center which will deploy a common foundation and enable future capabilities, efficiencies and savings across the UC system.

What is UCPath?

• Two distinct efforts with different objectives

• Related through standardization and simplification

• Accomplished through the completion of many projects

14

Implementation in Phases & Waves

• Implemented in phases– Human resources and

payroll– Time and attendance– Integrated portal and

system-wide data warehouse

• Rolled out in waves:– Manage risk– Build momentum– Provide proof of

success

• A “wave” consists of a small group of UC campuses and medical centers.

Phases

31

UC San Diego Commitments

• Activities surrounding UCPath and UCPath Center need to be given priority– New programs being proposed may need to be delayed– Resources must be focused and re-prioritized if necessary– Work is immediate and ongoing regardless of implementation timing

• Campus leaders must be engaged, committed and prepared for business transformation in anticipation of UCPath Center

– UCPath Center will affect current organizational design– Impact to staffing through reductions and/or retraining– Transition planning
