Weekly Update for the Week of March 4, 2013

HRMS Hosts Successful IDP Orientation
Over 80 people attended last week’s HRMS Orientation, including the Functional Steering Committee, team members, the OHR Upgrade Group, and Subject Matter Experts. Ben Santelman, HRMS consultant from CedarCrestone, Inc., led the group through a training on Interactive Design and Prototyping (IDP), a key component of Phase Two: Analyze and Design. A more detailed training session on IDPs for team members will be held on March 6, 2013.

For more information on this module, check out our ‘What is an IDP session?’ post on the blog!

Portal Welcomes U’s New Content Management System
The University has recently acquired a new enterprise content management system - Drupal. This is a systemwide initiative available to and supporting all system campuses, and a great opportunity for ESUP. The Enterprise Portal project will be working closely with the Drupal team so that content providers can enter content into Drupal for their websites and have it appear in the new portal.

ESUP is growing! We’re currently looking for new staff members to help in ESUP’s “central” offices, located in 150 Williamson Hall and 50 WBOB. We are hiring for two strategic communicators, one communications technology associate, and one executive program coordinator.
