<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We are now starting the final countdown to the release of the University’s new Financial Management System, ‘FMS’, which is scheduled to go live in just ten weeks’ time, on
10th August.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A comprehensive programme of engagement and training has been prepared to support staff up to and through the transition.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As part of the communications programme in the run up to go-live, we will this week begin a series of Weekly Digest articles highlighting that FMS is coming and signposting
the resources available to help staff get ready for the change.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As the Weekly Digest article will mention, before the formal training starts in July, we’re running drop-in information sessions at the
<a href="http://www.strath.ac.uk/maps/collinsbuilding/">Insight Institute</a> at the following times:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">15 June: 10.00am-12.00am and 2.30pm-4.30pm</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">17 June: 10.00am-12.00am and 2.30pm-4.30pm</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">24 June: 9.30am-11.30am</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I would ask you to make sure that your staff are aware that the new system is coming, and encourage them to drop in to the information sessions, even if only for a few minutes,
to see what FMS is all about. Please do also come along yourself.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">There’s no need to book a place; staff can just come along at any time during one of the sessions, read the posters, watch some short system demonstrations and speak to the
Project team.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
