Why are we doing this?

The Issue
PPS is over 30 years old and no longer meets evolving operational needs of the University.• Limitations create redundancies and
process inefficiencies system-wide.
• Eleven (11) different variations of PPS in use today which are costly to maintain and support
• Local customizations have made system updates and maintenance difficult

The Solution
• Replace PPS with Oracle’s PeopleSoft payroll and HR systems.
• Standardize and streamline Payroll and HR/APO processes UC-wide.
• Centralize transactional related processes within the UCPath Center.
Implement Enabling Technology
Streamline and Standardize Processes
Centralize Transactional
Activities
When Complete…
• There will be a single payroll and HR solution for all employees UC-wide.
• HR, payroll and academic personnel transactional processes will be simplified and consistent across all UC locations.
• A strong and flexible infrastructure which enables future growth and improvement, meets the core needs of each location, and improves service quality, accuracy and efficiency.
• Standard technology, consistent business processes, and a shared services center will deploy a common foundation and enable future capabilities, efficiencies and savings across the UC system.

Stakeholders
What is it?
15
What is UCPath?
• Two distinct efforts with different objectives
• Related through standardization and simplification
• Accomplished through the completion of many projects
16
Program Focus Areas
• The UCPath program has five focus areas.
1. Implement enabling technology• PeopleSoft• Campus business systems
2. Streamline/standardize system-wide business processes
3. Streamline /standardize campus business processes
4. Centralize transactional activities
5. Prepare campus for change
• Each focus area has many projects and each project has many work packages
• Areas provide foundation for planning and communication

How is the program implemented?
19
Phases & Waves
• Implemented in phases– Human resources and
payroll– Time and attendance– Integrated portal and
system-wide data warehouse
• Rolled out in waves:– Manage risk– Build momentum– Provide proof of
success
• A “wave” consists of a small group of UC campuses and medical centers.
Phases

Where are we in the program?
23
Program Status: Technology
Project UpdateLegacy Data Conversion
UCSD will begin data conversion. Project planning and team identification is in progress
GL/Financial Integration
Functional designs are complete. Consultant (Huron) is answering any remaining design questions and developing technical designs. All campuses responding to any RFIs.
Interfaces All campus teams are reviewing functional designs (FDDs) and gap resolutions. Issues are being tracked. FDDs to be complete in late December.
Operational Data Store (ODS)/ Data Warehouse
All campus teams are reviewing functional designs as well as approved DDLs. Issues are being tracked. Data mapping is in review and critical data element research and selection identification is in progress.
Campus QA Environment
Mainframe work is almost complete - work continues on setting up jobs. Linux environment in progress.
Identity/Access Management
All campus teams are reviewing functional designs and weekly meetings are being held. UCSD will require a version update of SSO tools (Shibboleth & SAML). Planning for that work is in progress. IDM design is expected to complete in early January.
Bi-Weekly Payroll Conversion:
Information has been posted to the UC San Diego UCPath Blink site. This site continues to be up-dated with the latest information from the Payroll office
Upcoming Projects Composite Benefit Rates, Reporting, System Testing, Transition Readiness, and Factored Leave Accrual
Operational Data Stores

• Operational Data Store (ODS) need identified
25
Program Status: System wide Processes
Project UpdateConference Room Pilots
• Main purpose to gain better understanding of the system design (configuration) and functionality using UCPath values
• Completed in OctoberConfiguration Work Sessions
• Main purpose to obtain business acceptance of the functionality of the system• Completed in October
Business Process Mapping
• 96 maps in all• Completion of all documentation, except commitment accounting, expected in January
2013
26
Program Status: Campus Processes
Project UpdatePlanning • A small team representing campus will begin the planning for campus activities associated
with campus business processes and integration of those processes with the UCPath Center
• Planning will address other items associated with campus readiness• It is expected that core team will be expanded once team charter, goals, etc… are
established
27
Scope of Services
*Center of Expertise – Includes strategy, policy, and program design. Excludes systemwide operational support (e.g. RASC, IT Shared Services)
**mass transactions are bulk system data changes effecting large numbers of employees (e.g. re-organizations, mass merit increases, etc.)

Program Status: UCPath Center
Project UpdateFacility • The building purchase has been finalized and the exact location will be announced soon.
Staffing • UCPath Center information sessions continue to be scheduled at campus locations. • Job descriptions are posted on the UCPath site. • Job postings originally scheduled for November 1 have been to November 26 to allow for
further preparation of the vendor, applicant tracking system, and other considerations. Initial job openings have a start date of April 1, 2013.
• Staffing will ramp-up with waves. Wave 1 will have 156 employees, eventually ramping up to 400-500 employees. UC employees have priority over external candidates
Technology • A full-day meeting was held with Enwisen and Oracle technical staff to discuss a preliminary approach to single sign on and resolve outstanding technical issues.
• The tech team has begun a technology search for workforce scheduling and UCPath Center check printing

Program Status: Communications & Training
Project UpdateTraining • Data and technical requirements for training are being identified.
• The UCOP team continues to develop the course catalog. • Training efforts are focused on Wave 1 campuses; however all campuses will be included in
activities that have system-wide (regardless of wave) impacts/ decisions. UCOP Communications
• Monthly communication themes are being developed; currently the list is in draft format.• The UCSD PMO will develop a corresponding list that will reinforce UCOP’s themes, as well
as address issues specific to our campus. UCSD Communications
• The Blink site experienced 4,900 visits following the campus notice about the up-coming bi-weekly payroll conversion. Web traffic peaked on the Friday and Monday following the announcement, registering 1,800 and 1,400 daily visits respectively.
• Blink will continue to be updated/maintained and is the main source for UC San Diego UCPath information.
31
Program Status: PMO
Project UpdateBudget • Initial budget projects are being revised in light of new information with respect to scope,
new technology approaches and more detailed scope information• Planning to compare this to early adopter program numbers (as best as possible since
many things have changed)
Team Structure • Working on necessary team structure across all workstreams/projects in anticipation of April 2013 kick-off
• Will be shared and campus will be asked for guidance/assistance
Governance • Current campus governance structure will be reviewed to ensure that the right composition is in place and that communications “network” is sufficient.
Project Foundations • Developing project pages for Blink• Building out team SharePoint site (program/project dashboards, site for Erwin diagrams,
other database information)
