One of the most common questions asked is "when will the eWake project be completed?" The eWake project is being implemented in phases broken down into three groups – performance budgeting, financial management, and human resources. Read below for implementation details of these three phases. Performance Budgeting Phase 3 of the Performance Budgeting (PB) operation is scheduled to occur the first week of December 2007. CGI will assist the County in going live with the production PB database. This process will involve:
The PB system will be used to prepare the Fiscal Year 2009 Budget, including the development of the budget book using Finite Matters, Ltd., software PatternStream. Learn more about the Performance Budgeting system. Financial Management The eWake Financials system will go live March 17, replacing the outdated FAMIS system and providing improved architecture and access to information. We will spend the time between now and then converting data, "kicking the tires" on the hardware, and making sure that our security and business processes are rock solid. Please continue your efforts to practice and learn the new system and get ready to get the biggest (and "greenest") St. Patrick's Day present yet! Learn more about the Financial Management system. Human Resources Management The Human Resources Management (HRM) team is in the initial, or Envision, phase. We have identified and explored business processes for both HR and Payroll and are conducting prototyping sessions for the new tool. We expect the Build phase to begin in early 2008, with the go-live date to occur later in the year. Learn more about the HR Management system.
