Ohio University is preparing for its transition to Oracle Cloud, the future platform for HR and finance, with implementation anticipated in 2029. This work is part of the Administrative Modernization Program (AMP), a university-wide initiative focused on improving systems, processes, and user experience.
Several readiness efforts are already underway to position the university for a successful transition. Readiness activities will continue through the summer and into the coming years, establishing the groundwork for system design and build efforts scheduled to begin in 2027.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to stay informed as the work progresses. For updates, visit the Administrative Modernization Program website or subscribe to the AMP newsletter.
