Simpler Systems Reporting Pilot for Financial Data Enhancement
Simpler Systems
Reporting Pilot
Financial Reporting
•
The Simpler Systems pilot evaluation is being conducted to
improve financial data reporting on campus.
•
Creating new mechanisms for University-wide financial reporting
was a key recommendation made by Vice President Ryan Nesbit’s
transition team this past year.
•
During this pilot phase, we are exploring ways to meet this urgent
campus need.
•
The system is intended for a variety of users, including deans,
directors, faculty, business office, etc.
•
Based on a recommendation from the Business Services Advisory
Group (BSAG) to improve access to data and “all sides” of a
transaction, data access through Simpler is not restricted by
department/unit.
Data
•
Data includes fiscal year 2014 and 2015
•
2015 data is updated nightly
•
The pilot is not intended to cover all areas of financial data,
and includes:
•
Financial summaries
•
Accounting transactions
•
Campus mail
•
Payroll transactions
•
Additional data elements may be added during the pilot phase
Pilot Evaluation
•
The pilot will run through June to allow sufficient time for
testing the Simpler Systems reporting portal
(
http://simplerpilot.uga.edu
)
•
We encourage participants to engage in testing the software and
providing our team with your feedback.
•
We also encourage you to share this information with your
colleagues and get their feedback on the tool.
•
Questions can be directed to Sharon Thelen at
slthelen@uga.edu
Feedback
•
Enhancements to the portal will be made based on your
feedback so we encourage you to think about the full extent
of your reporting needs.
•
The Simpler tool is being evaluated as a potential replacement
for existing systems such as ARROW reporting and other
reporting which may currently be provided through the
mainframe or QMF.
•
Information gathered from the pilot will also inform our future
reporting tools and needs.
•
A survey will be made available in May and again in late June
to receive your feedback.
The Simpler Systems Reporting Pilot is underway to enhance financial data reporting at the university campus. Led by Vice President Ryan Nesbit's team, this initiative aims to improve University-wide financial reporting mechanisms and accessibility to data through the Simpler tool. The pilot includes data from fiscal years 2014 and 2015, covering financial summaries, accounting transactions, payroll transactions, and more. Participants are encouraged to test the system via the Simpler Systems reporting portal, provide feedback, and engage in surveys to shape future reporting tools. Enhancements based on user feedback will lead to potential replacement of existing systems like ARROW reporting. The pilot will run through June, with an emphasis on meeting urgent campus needs and ensuring data access across departments.
