The CMS Project at CSU Fullerton seeks to accomplish the
following goals as part of its implementation of the People
soft application:
–
Resolve long standing or currently identified issues with business
functions through process or technical developments
–
Map business processes and facilitate central and distributed change
in business operations
–
Provide all campus users tools and applications capable of limiting the
number of systems on campus used to perform business functions or
those that house protected data
–
Provide all campus users (central and distributed) an opportunity to
voice their concerns and suggestions for process improvement
