System Administration and Change Management:
Alan Maurice, Finance & Administration Manager – University of Technology, Sydney (UTS)
Background:
A Leading University in NSW implements Oracle without the Project Module and Bottom up Budgeting at the same time causing cultural angst that needs to be managed.
Testimonial:
“Will came into UTS Finance at a critical time and through a change management process. This included the implementation of the Oracle finance software
and a whole new approach to finance at the University.
Will was instrumental in introducing and teaching the transition to bottom up budgeting & the creation and customisation of research financial reports. This new system had not made provision for any research financial reporting.
Will single handedly built an access database to accommodate thousands of individual research projects which then went out directly to individuals. UTS chose not to invest in the project module!
Will has the big picture customer approach to helping non accountants understand their financial results. Will did all this during a tough time when there was a freeze on new staff appointments. Above all Will showed the capacity to manage accounting requirements and yet provide customers with the best available service given the constraints and the negative culture towards research finance at UTS”
