Project and Process Management


The ITS Project Management Office specializes in project management concepts to improve productivity, performance and deliver a successful product to the client.  Project management's focus is around the reason a project exists, objectives and project deliverables.

 

"What is a project?" is a very difficult question to answer.  All requests are evaluated to determine if they rise to the level of needing project oversight.  Various factors are taken into consideration during the evaluation: timeline, requirements, complexity, etc.  Additional information may have to be gathered to make a final determination.  Please review the IT Security Requirements.  The ITS project team will be happy to meet with campus clients to review requirements and determine the best path to move forward.

PSU is in the process of replacing the University's home-grown, legacy ERP: GUS Classic.  ERPs in Higher Education are made up of 4 primary modules: Human Resources, Business Finance, Student Financial Assistance, and Student Information. 

PSU has replaced 3 of the 4 modules (HR, Business Finance, Financial Aid). The Financial Aid module was completed Fall of 2023! The University is gaining a better understanding each day of the power of this new tool and how it can transform the work we do with students in the Financial Assistance realm.

PSU has partnered once again with Oracle on their Student Management Cloud (aka Student Information System) application which will complete PSU's ERP system! The project team which consists of several PSU departments and many PSU functional experts are working on the planning phase now in preparation for the implementation phase to begin in late 2023 or early 2024.

The current University phone system was manufactured in the 1980's.  It has done its job and then some!  However, support on that system is ending soon and parts are difficult to find.  Therefore,  we are in the process of replacing the current system with something more modern and agile.  Please check out the details of the new phone upgrade and view frequently asked questions.  This will allow you to understand the options that you will have available to you and your team.
