The CSU
Collaborative Management System (CMS) requires that each
of the first wave campuses perform an organizational and
technical readiness assessment to ensure a successful
PeopleSoft implementation. Cal Poly Pomona has retained
the services of PricewaterhouseCoopers to complete this
process. Campus interviews will be conducted May 15 - 19,
2000. As guided by the CSU Readiness Assessment Tool, the
scope of the assessment consists of three major areas
related to the implementation of PeopleSoft Human
Resources (HR) and Financials applications. The three
areas to be reviewed include:
1. Project
Commitment. This topic includes a review of areas related
to project sponsorship, communication, campus
participation, end user training and funding.
2. Project
Management and Design. This topic includes reviewing
areas related to the organization of the project team,
project management processes and project team
support.
3.
Infrastructure. This topic includes all areas related to
the technical environment including information
technology support, network and work station environment,
help desk and training of IT staff.
Objectives
1. To
determine the degree to which the Cal Poly Pomona campus
is prepared to implement PeopleSoft Human Resources and
Financial applications.

take to strengthen its readiness to implement the CSU
baseline software.
