Thanks to countless hours of work by staff at Purdue campuses, OnePurdue’s human resources and payroll systems are now working alongside the financial systems that went live in February.

“I want to express my appreciation to everyone who has helped make this implementation a success,” said Morgan R. Olsen, executive vice president and treasurer.

“OnePurdue’s success would not be possible without the ongoing patience, dedication and hard work by staff members at all four campuses. The release of this latest component marks the culmination of considerable effort and countless hours of work.”

The first payroll using OnePurdue was run July 2. Systemwide, about 13,000 biweekly paid staff, including student workers, received pay under the new system. Monthly paid staff — another 13,000 across all campuses — will receive their first pay July 31. Enhanced online salary statements, via OnePurdue's new Employee Self-Service, also were generated and are available to faculty and staff.

“This release provides an unparalleled level of integration for the University’s business systems and processes,” Olsen said. “From the beginning, our project teams have focused on meeting the needs of Purdue’s schools, colleges and departments. We have reached another milestone, but certainly, there is more to do. I ask that all faculty and staff continue to support our Business Services colleagues as they manage the transition to the new systems.”

This transition to new business applications poses a challenge for the entire organization, Olsen said, but the user support system in place should help.

Business office and payroll staff are available to help faculty and staff if the need arises. In addition, online support is available by clicking the “Get Help” button on OnePurdue’s home page. The OnePurdue Support Center also is available at (765) 494-6000 or onephelp@purdue.edu.

More functionality will be added to current applications as the OnePurdue team works toward release of the travel module.

In a plan approved June 6 by Provost Sally Mason, the responsibility for student registration, class schedule preparation and classroom assignments will transition to the Office of Enrollment Management and assigned to the Office of the Registrar.

An integral part of the 2008 release of OnePurdue’s student applications, Banner, the move is expected to be completed by this September.

“This transition is in line with OnePurdue’s overall vision and plan to integrate two other applications with Banner: Ad Astra’s Astra Schedule and Platinum Analytics,” said University Registrar Bob Kubat. Astra Schedule is a space scheduling tool and Platinum Analytics will perform course demand analysis and help Purdue plan course offerings.

(Banner is SunGard Higher Education’s academic and administrative software package that will comprise the bulk of OnePurdue’s Enrollment and Student Affairs (ESA) implementation. Read more about SunGard Higher Education and the individual Banner modules included in OnePurdue here.)

Training for key staff members will start in July, beginning with courses in registration and fee assessment, among others.

“We are strategically aligning both processes and people with the future of Purdue’s student systems,” Kubat said.

To assist in implementing Banner, Astra Schedule and Platinum Analytics, a work group has been formed to address registration processes and procedures, in addition to other related activities. Currently comprised of 16 members, this group includes representatives from every school and college, OnePurdue staff and the Office of the Registrar. Kubat said that others will be added at appropriate times as the Banner implementation progresses. These will include students, representatives from the Bursar’s Office and other administrative offices (e.g., Continuing Education).

Student input also will be sought regarding priorities for the timing of registration for student cohorts, scheduling of drop/add periods, wait lists and other issues.

“Using Banner, we will manage the opening and closing of sections and seats, in addition to handling prerequisites and reservations, throughout a registration period,” Kubat said. “This will help ensure that all students will have classes available to them.” Policies and priorities for these processes will be determined by the work group.
