People that are NOT currently affected by the PeopleSoft changes are ready to look at the possibility of a new system. Departments cannot absorb any more University assessments. Human Resources are already stretched and spread too thin. When positions are posted, departments are not receiving applications due to the tight job market.
Departments seem to be at differing points with implementation of PC equipment.
Some have new equipment installed, and some do not have the funding to make the necessary purchases. Buy-in needs to start at the top, down to Deans, and then to the front line. At a minimum, people want the functionality that they currently have. The expectation is that the new system must be an improvement over what we have now, improving productivity and overall efficiency.
