[Physstaff] FW: New University Finance System - Agresso - 10 week countdown to go-live

[Catherine Cheshire]

Dear All

Please note the information provided in the email below.  The new Finance system will be going live soon and it is really important that you are aware of what is happening.  The drop-in sessions will help provide this information and as such, if you can, please attempt to go along to one of the sessions.

There will be separate training sessions, however, in the meantime, the drop-in sessions could be beneficial.

Many thanks

Catherine

Dear All

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.

A comprehensive programme of engagement and training has been prepared to support staff up to and through the transition.

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.

As the Weekly Digest article will mention, before the formal training starts in July, we're running drop-in information sessions at the Insight Institute<http://www.strath.ac.uk/maps/collinsbuilding/> at the following times:
15 June: 10.00am-12.00am and 2.30pm-4.30pm
17 June: 10.00am-12.00am and 2.30pm-4.30pm
24 June: 9.30am-11.30am

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.

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.

Kind regards

Hugh
