[Cobo] Steering Committee for Payroll Interface Project

[LeFlore, Bobby]

As mentioned in the Business Officer's meeting on December 11th, a meeting was held with OSF staff on December 12th regarding the next phase of the development of the Higher Education payroll interface to the State's People Soft system.  This meeting included Finance/Payroll/IT staff from the University of Oklahoma, Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma State University, Rose State College and the Regents office.  One outcome of the meeting was the recognition and agreement among the participants that a Higher Ed Steering committee is needed that will actively participate in the identification of issues, problem solving, interface development, communication, decision making, etc. during the course of this project.  It was recommended that the group be representative of the largest universities down to the smallest 2 year college and include around a third of the institutions in the system.  This group would be required to attend a number meetings throughout the life project.  Because of the number of meetings and driving distances for many institutions I am proposing that the following institutions make up the steering committee.  This group includes the largest universities, two regional universities, and three 2 year colleges in addition to a representative of all the different software systems used except two.  Northeastern State University uses Bi-Tech and Eastern Oklahoma State College and Cameron University use Sunguard.  Representatives from these colleges could also be included if they would be willing to make the longer drives.  Your feedback on this recommended approach and suggested institutions is appreciated.
