UWFT Shared Environment Administrator Guide

Administrators and staff – welcome to the Shared Environment Administrators Guide. The goal of this guide is to provide you with information related to the Shared Environment (SE) solution coming out of the UW Finance Transformation (UWFT) program in a central, easily accessible location. There is a LOT of information to share through various types of documentation, much of which will evolve over the program. We believe having answers readily available at your fingertips is most effective for accelerated learning. We are aware that this learning will require a very large investment of your time and we hope this guide will make that easier and serve as a critical tool to answer any of your own or colleague’s questions you may have about the SE. This guide is designed to:
     -   Provide Background on why the UW is undertaking Finance Transformation
     -   Provide an overview of the vision and approach for the SE
     -   Provide Administrators with materials that can help you communicate this vision and approach to your staff and other stakeholders 
     -   Provide detailed process flows that can be reviewed on an as-needed basis 
     -   Give insight into what is new, what is changing, and what is staying the same
     -   Level-set on the future knowledge and competencies that will be needed due to Workday implementation
     -   Have Q&A sections in all areas of the Op Model, SE, security roles and support  
     -   Provide material organized by end-to-end process areas that have transactions in the SE
     -   Provide material based on cross-functional "initiation to close” process flows that bring the work to life prior to system testing
