    11. 11 Project Purpose (Why?)

    12. 12 Project Purpose (Why?) Purpose: GCS commitment is to provide excellent, streamlined customer service. Legacy system can no longer effectively support this commitment; contributing to the current slow & inefficient “paper” system Years of struggling to meet the business needs of our organization and comply with federal, state & local reporting requirements Our commitment to excellence led us to purchase Lawson’s ERP Suite with the aspiration for excellence in Human Resources, Payroll, Procurement and Financials in the future. Among RFP requirements were: Storing all data in one entity Streamlining processes with workflow technology Deploying employee self-service Eliminating duplicate data entry Providing ease of use for staff

    13. 13 Business Objectives Consolidate information systems and spreadsheets Activate employee self-service for all employees by providing read only access for all employees and specific input rights based on need Reduce paper flow by developing electronic, automatic business processes Decrease staff time spent on manual or paper input Increase staff efficiency by providing easy access to information Increase managers’ efficiency by providing user friendly access to employee information Have documentation for all processes

    14. 14 Other Objectives Project is implemented on-time and within budget according to the Project Plan Risks and project issues are documented, managed and escalated appropriately Scope is clearly defined and all scope changes adhere to the change control process Quality metrics are met
