Dear Colleagues, 

Ohio University is assessing its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms and closely related applications that support three core university capabilities: human resources, finance, and student administration. This assessment will focus on the effectiveness of business processes (hiring, onboarding, paying invoices, enrolling for classes, etc.) and the effectiveness of their implementation in a system (Oracle E-Business Suite, Workforce, Concur, BobcatBuy, PeopleSoft, Faculty and Advising Center, OCEAN, etc.). 

This assessment is the first step of a multi-phase approach to evaluating, selecting, and eventually implementing a new digital ecosystem to support core university functions and modernize how Ohio University works to support the student, employee and community experience. 

As part of the assessment, we are requesting your insight and feedback regarding our institution’s readiness for such a significant initiative. The survey will cover institutional culture, organizational strengths, and potential barriers. 

Survey details

You will receive an Organizational Readiness Assessment email from Key Survey and the Huron Consulting Group, our partners for this initiative. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Responses will be aggregated by Huron and reviewed by the ERP Assessment Steering Committee. 

Timeline

The survey will be sent by Huron later today, with the subject line “Action Requested: Organizational Readiness Assessment.”  The deadline for completion is Friday, August 2. 

Questions?  

Please contact Rory Pavach at rpavach@hcg.com from Huron if you have questions or concerns about completing the survey.

Thank you for your time and participation in this important initiative.
