Milestone 7 - Transition of Services

Milestone 7 is when people actually have moved and areas make the transition to the new service model (“Go Live”). This is when HR, Finance and Marcom services transition to the Finance and HR Operations and Marcom Common Good Services centers. 

Leading up to the transition of services was a lot of work and collaboration. 

  • Some people will transition to the operation centers or common good services teams. 
  • Campus, college, and unit transition teams will have worked with leaders, supervisors, leads and involved staff to discuss work transition. Arrangements will have been made to cover tasks that are not moving to the operations centers or common good service teams. 
  • Training and onboarding for new appointments happens.

What Does this Transition Mean?

For the majority of faculty and staff in each area, this will not change how we ask for Finance or HR support. Each campus, college, or unit will decide how they will engage the operations centers, so changes to local processes will vary. For those who will be interacting with the operations centers, more information will be coming from your Transition Teams, usually your CFM, HR Lead, IT Lead, and Marcom Lead.


Steps 

  • Finance and HR will start processing service requests for the units whose work was identified to move to an operations center for processing.
  • Marketing and Communications staff will begin transitioning and training with their new teams to provide common good services systemwide.
  • Common good services will be available to all areas that are part of the phase.

New Phase 1 Service Models

On December 4, 2023 the new service model changes were made for all Phase 1 participants in the Finance and Human Resource areas. Marcom began offering common good services in January 2024. Below are the services that can be requested from each.

Details about the FinOps Center and the finance services offered, can be reviewed on the University Finance website.

The HR Center service model can be reviewed on the OHR website. Resource materials for HR services are available by logging in with your University ID.

Marketing and Communications common good services are arranged with each campus, college or unit. View the range of work by University Relations and contact your Marcom lead to determine if the scope of your project falls within one of the common good services teams. The Marcom lead for the campus, college or unit will coordinate work that will be completed by the common goods services team. Work that will be completed at the college, campus or unit level will be determined by the Marcom lead or the person they identify. 

The services that can be requested from each area are listed below.
