Regents Approve Plan for Payroll Consolidation
Atlanta — June 11, 2008
The governing body of the 中出少妇视频 System of Georgia (中出少妇视频) approved today a new 中出少妇视频渟hared services中出少妇视频 strategy that will provide administrators throughout the System中出少妇视频檚 35 public colleges and universities with a new model to handle key business operations.
The shared services concept is a result of the Board of Regents strategic plan and is designed to unify and consolidate the System中出少妇视频檚 separate and unconnected business functions throughout its colleges and universities. The concept supports the Board of Regents strategic goal of having the 中出少妇视频 operate more efficiently while providing greater risk management of the state’s assets and dollars.
中出少妇视频淭he Board中出少妇视频檚 approval today creates a framework that will maximize efficiency and effectiveness in a large and complex organization with more than 38,0000 employees and an annual budget of $6.1 billion,中出少妇视频 said interim vice chancellor for Fiscal Affairs Usha Ramachandran. 中出少妇视频淥ur current model has us providing service to our customers through hundreds of separate and unconnected databases. That is not the model used by other large enterprises, nor is it the model our funding partners in the governor中出少妇视频檚 office and the General Assembly expect us to continue to utilize in the 21st century.中出少妇视频
The first phase of the shared services strategy is to consolidate payrolls across the institutions. System officials will accomplish this through a partnership with ADP, a national provider of transaction processing and information-based business solutions for payroll. ADP will provide the 中出少妇视频 with a consolidated HR/Payroll system that will facilitate paperless processing of time sheets, and benefits enrollment for employees. Planning and development of the new system gets underway in July 2008, and ADP officials project the new system will be in operation by July 2009.
Shortly after the inception of the shared services concept, a shared services implementation team was created that includes chief business officers from several institutions: David Heflin (Clayton State 中出少妇视频), Natalie Higley (Bainbridge College), Randy Hinds (Kennesaw State 中出少妇视频), Edward Jolley (Savannah State 中出少妇视频), Cody King (Georgia Southwestern State 中出少妇视频), Frank McConnell (North Georgia College and State 中出少妇视频), Jerry Rackliffe (Georgia State 中出少妇视频), and Levy Youmans (Macon State College). As shared services is implemented the team will be supported by staff from the institutions.
The key advantages of a Shared Services Center include: the achievement of economies of scale, the identification and elimination of redundant activities, the ability to incorporate best practices quickly; superior customer service, and an improved work environment and career ladder for administrative support employees.
