CMS Project
The CMS (Common Management System) Project
The CMS Project, known as the Common Management System, is a
CSU system-wide project which mandates that all 23 campuses implement
CMS HR, Finance and Campus Solutions (formerly known as Student
Administration) by 2008. The mission of the CSU's CMS project
is to provide efficient, effective and high quality service to
students, faculty and staff. CMS is an Oracle/PeopleSoft
software application, fully web-based, running on common hardware
shared by all CSU’s.
Chris Manriquez, CMS Project Director and Interim Associate CITO, stated that “Here
at CSUF, CMS is a campus-wide project. We want to ensure
that CMS is implemented in the most cost effective manner and
that the best business practices are developed.”
CMS Project Updates
Finance - The CMS Finance System Release 8.4 was implemented on July 1, 2007. The system is scheduled for upgrade to Release 9.0 on March 10, 2009. The Finance System incorporates a series of accounting modules which provides the functionality for the following: General Ledger / Budget, Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Asset Management, Receivables Billing, and access to distributed reports.
Human Resources – HR has been live with PeopleSoft version 8.9 since 2007 and has rolled out key modules including Workforce Administration, Base Benefits, Leave Accounting, Part Time Faculty, Student Worker Processing, Self Service, Labor Cost Distribution, and Academic Personnel System. The team continues to improve the system through fixes and enhancements and strives to provide the campus with a quality tool to assist with daily HR operations. CMS HR is currently working on implementing a Data Warehouse, which will provide the campus with a reporting tool to easily extract the data from the Human Resources system. In 2010, CMS HR will implement and introduce Absence Management and Benefits Administration to the campus.
Campus Solutions – CS PeopleSoft version 8.9 has been fully implemented as of January 2009 and replaces SIS+ and Old Titan Online (student self-service web access to SIS+). Campus Solutions functionality includes admissions, records (class schedule, registration, grading, transcripts), student financials and financial aid. Extended Education is also supported by Campus Solutions. Degree audit reporting is handled by DARWin and is fully interfaced with PeopleSoft in real-time. Campus Solutions provides 24/7 access to PeopleSoft.

involved --- from the CMS Steering Committee, CMS Management Teams,
CMS Divisional Coordinators and Divisional Support Groups, CMS Module Teams (comprised
of business analysts, divisional technical and functional staff),
to the CMS User Work Teams (comprised of end-users from all Divisions
and faculty / student representatives) to the Help Desk.
