Hypercare Case Backlog
The FST Team is
making headway with the backlog of cases during this hypercare phase of the
project. The team has
prioritized issues like registering and paying vendors, with some team members
committing evenings and weekends to solve these issues more quickly, to reduce
frustration for both our stakeholders and their vendor partners.
A quick look at case volume:
As
of September 19, our Finance Solution Center still had 204 cases open at the
Tier one level, but they have closed 3795 cases. For the more complex cases at Tier 2, there
are 866 cases open at that level, while 8,325 cases have been closed.
These numbers are on par with what would be expected from such a major implementation in a large
organization like UVA. During hypercare,
our functional experts, training team, and several other finance folks are pitching in to help the Finance Solution Center answer your
questions as quickly as possible and solve the problems causing stress.
Resources & Help Available
We appreciate
that folks are still sharing their questions, working with us on solutions, and
doing their part to understand the system. Attendance at Office Hours has been consistent: since August 11, we’ve And as of the
beginning of September, there have been 10,214 training course
completions.
Although the hypercare phase technically ends when September ends, we’re still
planning on having Office Hours in some form during October, for the sessions
that are still in demand.
Keeping up with Items in Progress
51 items were deferred
until after go-live. Of the 45 issues
still to be tackled, 16 of those are set to be done in September. Remember that
the UVAFinance website is a great place to go to keep up with not only those
items in progress, but also on issues with the system and just general “of the
moment” FST updates: The FST News Ticker on the home page, the Spend Issues update page, and our System Status/Known Issues page.
Also on the website is the Workday Finance training page, which
is full of not only the training links, but also quick reference guides,
video demos, FAQs, and much more to help you get through the tasks you need to
complete day-to-day.
Reporting & Analytics Update
The Reporting &
Analytics Team released a significant number of new and updated reports
between August 8 to September 9 and there were some new reports
for account certification details and grant balance available. See the full details here.
The team is also working on a Day in the Life FAQ on reporting,
which will match up one or two reports with the most frequent daily questions
that fiscal administrators and business officers find themselves needing to
address. Their goal is to provide users
with a slimmed-down list of go-to reports selected by their peers. They’re looking to release that in
mid-October.
Focus Groups Wrapping Up
There have been six topic-based focus groups
that have met for multiple sessions, and the FST team will take that user
feedback and use it to focus our efforts where they will be of the most help,
and solve the most difficulties.
