HRx's Implementation Plan

So, we've been told that implementing the new Lawson Human Capital Management software suite is an intensive 18 month project. Since HRx impacts every aspect of Human Resources and beyond, it can be safe to assume that the project is not as simple as installing a new software like Adobe Photoshop or even a new operating system like Windows 7, but what exactly does implementing HRx really entail?

For those of us who want to be "in the know," our consulting friends at Ciber Inc, have provided us with a detailed road map to help guide us through the current HRx journey we have undertaken. The map, which looks like this-

may at first glance resemble a fun board game, but upon closer inspection you will see that it is so much more. This road map is actually an interactive tool which provides detailed information on each of the major steps that needs to be completed in order for us to maximize the benefits of the new HRx system. Playing around with the map you will quickly see just how much work lies ahead of us. You will also see how important it is for us to successfully complete each step because everything, no matter how small, impacts the project's future successes and failures.


If you are interested in viewing the actual model, please contact Smitha Katragadda, the HRx Communications Coordinator at skatraga@unch.unc.edu and after verification of your connection to UNC Health Care, you will be provided with a username and password that gives you access to the complete model, as well as some guidance on how to use it.

In 6 short weeks, you can see we've come quite a long way and are currently at step 1.14- Develop Documentation Plan. We've got quite a lot more to do, but as you can see we have a plan and are on task and before we know it we will be launching HRx!
