The Administrative Transformation Program (ATP) is an
enterprise-wide project led by UW System and UW-Madison that will
implement a modern Workday enterprise resource planning (ERP)
system and a Huron Research Suite 9.2 solution (Research
Administration Management Project or RAMP) to manage financial,
human resource and research administration activities. ATP is based
on a people first approach to ensure decision makers, employees and
stakeholders benefit from improved processes, efficiencies,
consistency, and transparency.
ATP established a timeline to deploy the Workday ERP solution and
RAMP at every campus on July 1, 2024. Deployment on this date will
provide less disruption and a higher likelihood of success compared
to deploying at the beginning of a state biennium (e.g., July 1,
2025) when new appropriations and laws are simultaneously enacted.
Further, ATP determined that a 30-month project period (beginning
January 1, 2022) is in line with other successful
implementations.
The Central Services Lead reports to the Chief Technology Officer
and is responsible for providing day-to-day support activities
performed by Strategy Leads, business analysts, policy analysts,
User Experience consultants, and other professionals providing
technical expertise to ATP and its projects (collectively, Central
Services). This position will work across multiple areas to align
how we deliver the many support functions within ATP, and the
Central Services Lead develops, establishes, and maintains
standards and procedures for this work. Through the duration of the
program's projects, the Central Services Lead obtains feedback to
ensure work team expectations are being met.
The Central Services Lead will coordinate with ATP Strategy Leads
on the appropriate level of professional and technical support
needed within work teams and ensure proper resource levels are
achieved. Additionally, in partnership with the ATP Strategy Leads,
the Central Services Lead will take the lead role in articulating
and moving to acceptance the transformation methodologies across
internal stakeholders. The Central Services Lead serves as a
liaison to and relationship manager with university business units
that are home to Program Enablement professionals (e.g. UW-Madison
DoIT, UW System Administration Project Management Office) or as the
supervisor for Central Services professionals that are hired
directly into the ATP Office.
