Dear Colleagues,
Happy New Year! We are proud to announce that as of today TCNJ is “LIVE” on Oracle Cloud!
In 2018, TCNJ embarked on an exciting initiative to support the College’s strategic plan and enhance the campus with state of the art cloud technology. This endeavor reinforces the College’s ongoing effort and commitment to gain operational efficiency, increase productivity, mitigate risk, and prepare for future business needs.
For nearly two years the project team has been working diligently to transform the way the College does business by aligning with higher education best practices. This effort includes a redesign of the entire chart of accounts structure, the enhancement of numerous business processes, the development of various system integrations and the configuration of eleven Oracle Cloud modules.
The Financial systems now available on the Cloud include:
-
General Ledger and Budgetary Control
-
Procurement / Purchasing
-
Accounts Payable
-
Accounts Receivable
-
Cash Management Transmittal System
-
Fixed Assets
-
Project Portfolio Management – Grants and Capital Projects
The Human Resources systems now available on the Cloud include:
-
Core HR / Employee Self Service (replacing YESS)
-
Taleo 2020 Recruiting and Onboarding (for all hiring, including students)
-
Performance (evaluations for non-unit and grant employees)
