In order for this functionality to be implemented, policy and procedure changes must be approved and communicated across the University community. A significant training plan will be rolled out in order to make future phases successful. Additionally, the GEMS project team will implement functionality as it is made available in future releases and with additional modules of PeopleSoft. As an alternative, the University could explore third party solutions that work with PeopleSoft to provide the missing functionality. Further, the State of Florida systems and procedures currently limit our ability to take advantage of some benefits of the GEMS software.
Efforts are underway by members of various teams to provide alternative solutions.
