The Research Information Security Management Initiative addresses gaps in research data management. It will establish a service catalog, assess researcher needs, and enhance infrastructure to bolster research data management practices.
Accounts Receivable
In Workday, we will implement an accounts receivable subledger to streamline client invoicing and payment processing across the University. This will improve cash flow and budget management by making it easier to track invoices, ensure timely collections, and provide better audit readiness. This initiative aims to optimize operations and establish a university-wide standard.
