10 Assumptions / Agreements UCSB will follow UCLA business processes and utilize UCLA systems as-is (no or very limited modifications specifically for UCSB) Cost of system conversion and integration will be paid by UCSB Cost of on-going operations will be neutral (UCLA will neither make or lose money) Initial Concerns UCSB has not (yet) elected to utilize UCLA services and the business process changes in some areas may be significant UCSB has concerns about the level of data transparency afforded by the UCLA financial reporting systems UCSB not likely to use UCLA’s version of PPS (particularly with the system- wide initiative moving forward) UCSB would like to use UCLA’s student billing and receivables (BAR) system but the required integration with UCSB student systems is a concern UCSB -> UCLA Financial Systems Conversion
