A repository of communications and cutover dates from across New Core and operational areas is available on the intranet and will be regularly updated to help with departmental cutover preparation.
Cutover is the process of planning, managing and executing the tasks that will allow the University to ‘cutover’ from current to new systems ahead of New Core launch. It is essential in order to ensure continuity for core HR, Finance, and Research services across the University as the complex transition from old to new functionality and ways of working is completed.
Cutover dates are also driven by the need to close HR and Payroll systems by 4 January 2019 in order to meet the 25 January pay date. The New Core team is working closely with colleagues across HR, Finance, Payroll and IT to plan detailed cutover preparation to cleanse and migrate data from legacy systems with minimal service and staff disruption. With more than 150 legacy systems across campus that are part of New Core, this is a complex collaborative effort.
