Budget & Finance Support
Budget & Finance Support promotes training, tools, and communications to take full advantage of the financial information system, improve the understanding of financial information, track system status, and ensure departments’ success in managing the university’s fiscal responsibilities.
Financial Information System Project
Oracle Financials Cloud and Concur went live on July 1, 2020. Oracle Planning and Budgeting is scheduled to go live in January 2021.
- Support teams continue to offer Office Hours weekly through December 2020. Oracle and Concur users should consolidate their questions and scenarios and then attend an office hours session with experts to help resolve outstanding issues. Our goal is to provide as positive and stress-free experience as possible for end users.
- Oracle Planning and Budgeting training and system rollout information will be launched campus-wide shortly.
