9 9 Agency Outreach Continues  Recent or pending meetings with agencies: KDOT KHPA KPERS KDHE SRS 14 agencies needing a central labor distribution solution  Over the past three weeks conference calls held with: KSU KU PSU WSU FHS ESU KU Med Center Discussed project scope and timeline, expenditure object codes, commodity codes Calls included Controller and senior fiscal and purchasing management

10 10 Strategies to Track State Spend and Enhancements to Object Codes  Capturing state-wide spend is one of several key goals of the project  Decision to use UN/SPSC 8-digit standard to capture spend for the purchase of goods and services through the PeopleSoft Purchasing module  Most Regents’ institutions will not be adopting the State commodity code standard in the near future  Other sources of spend can only be captured with more detailed expenditure object codes  Task team working on options to capture spend from Regents, direct pay and BPC purchases  Most likely will use a 6-digit object code with the 1 st character a GL account, characters 2-5 the current object code and a 6 th character for new object codes – this change will impact many systems

11 11 Business Process Mapping and Documentation  Completed mapping and documenting 31central and agency business processes  Each process includes a diverse group of subject matter experts from central and program agencies  Thirty-nine (39) agencies participated  Central processes documented in the “as-is” state  Agency processes documented in the “to-be” state  Business process mapping sessions were a good change management channel (systems, processes and roles)

12 12 Labor Distribution Analysis  Beginning analysis of 14 agencies’ time capture systems as part of broader analysis for central labor distribution solution  Time capture systems at fourteen agencies being reviewed  Analysis includes three-page survey of various aspects of their systems, (e.g. project/grant id, edit checks, workflow, deficiencies, impact from COA changes) and system demo  Began meeting with agencies this week and will continue for two weeks
