Implementation of DASH
The University of Tennessee is partnering with Oracle (ERP platform provider) and Accenture (system integrator) as the UT System moves forward with the implementation of DASH. Months of work have already occurred on the DASH Project by statewide resources and we are excited to have started the implementation process . We are planning for a big bang go-live of finance, human resources, and payroll on July 1, 2024. DASH Project phases include:
- Design – workshops and project tools established to verify design, adjustments to scope made as required, and project tools established
- Adopt and Adapt – designing and building test systems and planning for deployment readiness
- Test – systems integration, user acceptance and payroll testing, develop training resources, mock data conversions
- Cutover – deliver training, go-live and post go-live support
