IT Strategic Priority: Administrative Transformation
Supporting UW–Madison’s strategic priority of a high-performing organization.
Support and champion the Administrative Transformation Program (ATP): a priority goal of the university and the Universities of Wisconsin to move to Workday and RAMP and to modernize ancillary and supporting systems.
Strategy 1:
Implement and support the ATP transition to successful completion.
Plans
- Workday and Research Administration Modernization Project (RAMP): Migrate existing services as possible into the new environment.
- Data: Develop and implement a data strategy for the university that supports business needs and provides a cohesive user experience.
- Interoperability: Modernize data interoperability and access to and from Workday and RAMP to ensure future sustainability.
- Peoplesoft: Support Peoplesoft and associated systems through the end of use.
Projects
Key outcomes
- A fully operating, modern enterprise business environment.
- Improved interoperability of our business systems, which will reduce the need for continual, redundant data entry.
Strategy 2:
Support systems across the university that become obsolete or lose access to data as ATP is implemented, and modernize infrastructure needed to operate business operations in the new enterprise.
Plans
- Ancillary Systems: Develop off-ramps from legacy systems into modern platforms for business functions outside of Workday and RAMP.
- Interoperability: Modernize data interoperability to systems that will remain in service to ensure accurate and secure data.
Projects
- ERP Ancillary Systems Program
- Institutional Data Integration
- AIMS Transition Project
- More IT projects associated with Administrative Transformation
Key outcomes
- A modern, secure delivery of business functionality beyond what is provided by Workday and RAMP.
- Access to accurate business data to support operations, business intelligence and deep analyses.
