This will be a phased implementation. Phases will be planned with the timing of future PeopleSoft releases in mind. The Apollo Executive Steering Team approved the implementation plan in September 1997. The plan concept involves using a small team of personnel dedicated to the project on a full-time basis, utilizing ad hoc taskforces throughout the implementation phase as well as a Steering Team for oversight and quality control. The implementation team members were chosen for their expertise in general HR or HR specific areas.
Membership is comprised of technical, HR functional, and college representatives.
The HRMS selection process has involved multiple RFP's over a period of several years beginning in 1994. The Governing Board approved the selection of PeopleSoft on March 24, 1998. An implementation partner was chosen through a separate RFP Selection process. The initial KICK OFF meeting for the implementation team was held on June 18, 1998. Representatives from PeopleSoft, BIT, the Project Steering and Implementation Teams were present along with a number of technical support personnel.
