UC San Diego is undergoing a physical, intellectual and cultural transformation. But we have a problem: the systems and processes that were once state-of-the-art are no longer adequate in supporting our core business functions. We’re not just talking about replacing a single ERP system, which is enough to bring an institution to its knees. We’re talking about transforming all core business systems and administrative processes across the campus. We’re talking Financial, HR, Research Administration, Student Information Systems, and more!
Call us crazy if you want, but we embrace a tradition of nontradition. We strive to “break things better.” So, we’re breaking all the rules of a typical ERP implementation.
Bye bye, 100-page RFPs. Army of consultants? We have the experts right here. Do this in secret and tell everyone later? Uh, no.
With our Enterprise Systems Renewal (ESR) effort, we’ve created an edgy playbook with topics like Procurement Bake-offs, Expert Sourcing, Lean Process Review, Change Practitioner Network, Activity Hubs, Analytics at Your Fingertips, Everything-as-a-Service, and Hyper-modular Sustainable Architecture. The entire campus is involved, with technologists, central offices and academic departments all working together to optimize processes and to deploy new systems that will effectively meet the ever-changing needs of our growing university. Come hear our incredible story!
