Project Update

On Nov. 8, Vice Chancellor Clare Shinnerl, Assistant Vice Chancellor Matt Okamoto and Assistant Vice Chancellor Radhika Prabhu sent a message to Aggie Enterprise stakeholders about the decision to extend the project timeline, moving the go-live date from July 1, 2023, to Jan. 1, 2024. This one-time extension was granted after consultation and feedback from leadership, stakeholders and the Aggie Enterprise Project Management Office.

As we move forward through the final sprint of the Build phase, work streams continue their review of user stories, partnering with stakeholders to validate system configuration.

To support these efforts and prepare for testing, functional leads and the Data Conversion team are engaged in iterative data conversion exercises to ensure that information extracted from legacy systems loads and converts into Oracle correctly. 

After the successful completion of design activities at the close of 2021, Aggie Enterprise is moving into the build phase, which runs through July 2022. This phase will focus on configuring the Oracle system to meet UC Davis’ needs. The scope and complexity of the build phase is reflected in the numerous user stories collected throughout the design stage of the project.

The UC Davis finance, budget and business operations community is engaged in a collaborative effort to transform our current processes and technologies into a modern business environment. 

As expected, this is not a simple undertaking. Aggie Enterprise is complex and multifaceted, requiring input from stakeholders and subject matter experts, oversight from the project governance and extensive coordination from the project management and change management teams.
