Training and Education
In preparation to use and support the new system.
A Two Phase Approach
The success of any system implementation project is inextricably tied to the preparedness of the organization to use and support the new system. A key tool to preparing the organization is training and education. SDSU’s training activities will occur in two phases.
- Phase One
The first phase consists of central operational analysis, in which team members in both the functional and technical areas will be trained in functional configuration and use of the applications, as well as the technical architecture integrating the applications. The team members will use this knowledge to assume leadership roles in the implementation process to define current business processes on campus and map them into the HCM application functionality. These individuals will also use this knowledge to develop documentation on the administrative business process guides supported through the HCM applications, which will then provide a basis for the development of campus user training materials.
- Phase Two
The second phase concentrates on training our campus users in the respective roles that require use of the applications. Team members will be training additional trainers and end-users. Job aid materials will also be developed as well as procedural documentation. Campus user training will begin summer 2006.
