HR/PPS

The Oracle team is kicking off the project and is initiating conversations with each school and their Identity Management leads. They are resource gathering to determing how HR data is being pulled into the existing Identity Management systems.

• Arlene says that Oracle has informed them that there are no connectors that are included as a part of the contract. Dedra says that it appears that none of the connectors are out of the box; each is sold separately.
• Oracle is saying that they want one standard way to interface with Identity Management systems across the board. If this is the case, it makes it difficult for all campuses (including those who are Wave 2 and 3) to have to define all their interfaces now.
• It seems that the current round of meetings is more high level resource gathering to determine what each campuses identity infrastructure is like, and that they will do another more detailed discussion with everyone.
• Dedra says that if they are trying to define a single way to interact with Identity Management systems in Wave 1, it seems like it would be better for us to define that than the other way around. It would be nice for all of us, as Identity Managment leads, to come up with that strategy ourselves. This way, we can ensure that we can give our own input.
• Dedra says that the more we understand the general priorities and desired outcomes, the more we can help shape the end product and how we integrate with the new HR system. We can help the Wave 1 schools now and then understand the design considerations of the schools coming in the later waves.
• Matt says that as a future agenda item, perhaps we can brainstorm together what the architecture should look like.
• Dedra says that she will send out an invite via the mailing list to ask anyone who is interested to participate in early design conversations regarding the new interface to the new system.
• Several people say that it seemed like the current plan was a checklist of current PPS integrations to be migrated to the new system. If they are just re-implementing existing PPS with the new tool, then we are losing the value of this deployment. We need to re-engineer and re-analyze what we currently have to determine the best way to do things.
• Dedra will notify Mark about this effort. Hopefully as a result of this, we will generate something that will help the whole migration go more smoothly for everyone.
