Reminder: PeopleSoft upgrade website

Just wanted to share a reminder that the PeopleSoft upgrade (or Enterprise Systems Upgrade Project, "ESUP") has a website at upgrade.umn.edu. Here are a few of this week's updates:

ESUP work continues to gain momentum across all work streams, and weekly work stream status meetings are underway to keep the program on track and on schedule.

HRMS Fit-Gap Validation Sessions begin this week. The purpose of these sessions is to validate and build upon the fit-gap analyses conducted previously by Oracle. For more information about these sessions, check the Google Calendar "ESUP - HRMS Meetings" or contact the HRMS project directors.

University of Minnesota Duluth will hold an ESUP Campus Kickoff Brown-Bag on Wednesday, Nov. 7, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at Kirby Ballroom. The kickoff will include a brief welcome from UMD's senior leadership; an overview of the Enterprise Systems Upgrade Program (ESUP) from Program Director Andy Hill; and a more detailed look at the impact of ESUP at UMD and the role of UMD stakeholders in the initiative -- as well as an opportunity for questions and answers. For more information, please contact Sue Bosell on the UMD campus.

The portal project is now starting project initiation phase and will be working on a project
charter and other foundation processes.
