1. The Road Chosen - Strategies and Approaches for Kuali Financial System Implementation and Integration Joanne DeStafano, Cornell University Lee Belarmino, San Joaquin Delta College Eric Letsinger, IBM Mark Olson, IBM Kuali Days VI - May 13, 2008

2. Session Overview Introductions Eric Letsinger, IBM Joannne DeStefano, Cornell University Lee Belarmino, San Joaquin Delta College General Discussion of Implementation and Integration Issues

3. IBM Global Business Services IBM is software agnostic IBM believes in the promise of open and community source applications and has experience to bring to the table We recognize the need for schools to move through a rational, disciplined and transparent process before software is selected ~25 schools at early exploration stage…here’s what we hear…

4. Implementation: on the PLUS side… Better fit More control – includes implementation options Flexible Chart of Accounts Workflow Avoid risks of corporate shifts Focused community Distributed access Drives opportunity for internal skills upgrade Total cost of ownership - uncertainty Current technology Faster procurement Kualifier – test drive option

5. Implementation: on the MINUS side… Sustainability Unproven – no one has done “it”…yet Security concerns Budget module lacking; Inventory/stores Requires new skills acquisition Sunk investment in vended software may impede transition Requires new levels of buy-in Release maturity Unfamiliar risk profile Forces best-of-breed approach – more integration No one vendor Could require complex project/program management structures

6. Cornell a Unique Private University NYS land grant institution, with experiment station Seven endowed colleges Medical college in NYC and Qatar Four colleges managed under contract with the State University of New York Eight subsidiaries 20,000 students 10,000 faculty and staff $2.5 billion annual expenses

7. Reality for Cornell Started ERP implementations in 1995 Original budget to implement all five major administration systems was spent on our first installation – HR/Payroll Completed 2 nd system in 2004 Working on 3 rd system – Student; implementation planned for FY08 Financial systems were scheduled to be the last of the major ERP systems, not on the docket until 2011

8. Existing Financial System Situation Online and batch Natural/ADABAS system developed in 1970’s Data model flaws System intended for central use only Forces decisions based on system capabilities not “business” requirements Poor use of current database technology

9. Implementation Plan Utilize university project management office Finalize new chart structure Integrate a data delivery plan Develop CU-KFS project plan Big bang or phased Targeted use of external services Rice, KRA, etc. considerations
