IU implements new human resources/payroll system

By Kevin MacDonald

The HRMS implementation is part of the university’s complete re-engineering of its enterprise-wide information systems. It is one of the largest software development projects among these systems and a key accomplishment for the university. The cross-functional project team includes staff from human resources, academic affairs and payroll offices on IU’s campuses, as well as technical staff from University Information Technology Services. Data conversion and extensive testing over the Thanksgiving weekend resulted in the successful implementation.

The new system is comprised of the PeopleSoft Client, Electronic Documents or E-Docs, and the Information Environment (IUIE). HRMS will provide users with more functionality and easier access to data and information to perform their respective roles. Employee data share a common database with student data to minimize redundancies for those with dual roles, such as a staff employee who also is also a student. E-Docs will be delivered through the OneStart portal and are among the first of the enterprise-wide applications that will be configured for portal delivery.

For most employees, the first noticeable changes will be seen in January. All payroll and pay advices will be processed using HRMS.
