Top 10 Ways to Survive Transition to KFS Now Posted

For those of you who attended last week’s CU Financial Forum, thanks for coming and not being too tough on me! For those who were not able to make it, the presentation “Living in the KFS World” is now available on our website. You’ll notice in the presentation that there is an appendix with more [...]

Business reimagined, not business as usual

In early March, we talked here about the types of KFS documentation being developed to support your transition to “business as usual” when KFS goes live on July 1. But one in particular—KFS standard operating procedures (SOPs)—will take us beyond business as usual toward working together better than ever to reimagine finance and help fulfill [...]

“…and documentation for all.” A KFS pledge

With all the materials being developed to help you learn about KFS—tutorials, hands-on training, online project content, and campus meetings, let’s not forget about the documentation that will live on after implementation as your user guide. With a system as extensive as KFS, it isn’t realistic to expect any guide to be a one-size-fits-all solution. [...]

Whereas you used to see tutorials on the main Training page, now look for them under the appropriate category name in the left-hand column. The [...]

Stop the presses!

I bet that got your attention! The “press” that I’m referring to is the “rumor mill press” which, as you might expect at this stage of a huge system implementation, is in full force. So, to make sure you have the latest and greatest (and most accurate) info, I’ll address some of the rumors I [...]

Get to know e-docs and workflow

Have you seen the KFS experts demo the nuts and bolts of e-docs (electronic transactions) and how they’ll replace the slow, sometimes paper-based processes we use today? If you couldn’t attend their presentation last spring, watch it online. In fact, you can watch overviews of all the KFS modules. Pass this along to colleagues who [...]
