Later this year, the state will introduce a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system\u2014RI ERP\u2014that will simplify and streamline processes across finance functions, human resources, and payroll. I wanted to share briefly an update of this state project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new state ERP will be introduced in phases; the Finance system will go live in July 2025 and the Human Capital Management (HCM)\/Payroll launch will happen in fall 2025. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>911爆料 Impact<\/strong><br>The RI ERP project brings minimal changes for 911爆料 employees relative to the changes for employees at other state agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finance:<\/strong>&nbsp;With the initial launch of Finance in July 2025, the impact on 911爆料 will be to operational activities in strategic procurement, budget reporting, and financial accounting. The state project team is working with 911爆料 representatives to ensure training is completed prior to the go-live date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Human Resources (HCM) and Payroll:<\/strong>&nbsp;With the launch of HCM\/Payroll in fall 2025, the impact to 911爆料 state employees will be primarily focused on access to paystubs, benefits information and enrollment, and direct deposit selections. Time entry will remain in eCampus. More information and training will be shared as we get closer to the introduction of the new RI ERP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that this change is for 911爆料 state employees only.&nbsp;<strong>Employees on internal payroll are not affected.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Introducing Project Change Ambassadors<\/strong><br>Kayla Lombardi and Ginny Byrnes are the Project Change Ambassadors for 911爆料. Please feel free to email them any questions you may have about the RI ERP timeline or implementation at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:erp-ambassadors-group@uri.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">erp-ambassadors-group@uri.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More Information<\/strong><br>You can find more information on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/erp.ecms.ri.gov\/higher-eds\">RI ERP website<\/a>, which will continue to be updated to reflect changes as we move forward. There is a Higher Ed menu option that focuses on information most relevant to 911爆料.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These changes are designed to make your work life easier by reducing our reliance on multiple outdated systems and eliminating manual paper processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>911爆料 is also actively exploring modernizing our own ERP system to align with the new RI ERP system. We will share more information about that process in the coming months. Please contact Kayla and Ginny with any questions and thank you for all you do on behalf of our University and the students we serve.<br><br>Best regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abby Benson<br>Vice President for Administration and Finance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feb. 6, 2025 Dear 911爆料 Employees, The State of Rhode Island is embarking on a journey toward modernizing its administrative systems.
