Benefits • Automate and transform business processes across the entire ERP lifecycle including financial management, grant management, project management and reporting to drive greater operational efficiency and organizational effectiveness. • Reporting and analytics strategy will follow a phased approach. First phase will include streamlining standardized reports followed by building a robust data governance infrastructure. This will lead the way to a full-suite of analytics products that integrate data from across all data systems at Rutgers and allow Rutgers management to extract actionable intelligence in real time. • Ensure receivables activity is properly captured and reflected in the financial results. • The ability to completely track grants and funded projects from inception to final reporting. • Provide key metrics, to include planned amounts, actuals, forecast and variances, to give you an instant snapshot of the performance of your projects. 6

Project Components Chart of Accounts (COA) • The Chart of Accounts has been redesigned

Project Components Chart of Accounts (COA) • The Chart of Accounts has been redesigned to facilitate more streamlined financial reporting across the institution while providing flexibility at the local level. General Ledger, Projects, Grants and Cash Management and Accounts Receivable • Implement a single Financial System that incorporates the needs of both the legacy RU and legacy UMDNJ schools, centers and central units currently using Oracle and Banner systems. Financial Reports • Real time access to consolidated financial data university-wide that allows users to analyze the financial performance of business practices and identify opportunities for cost savings. The new reporting platform will have streamlined standardized reporting as well as advanced ad hoc reporting capabilities. 7
