Collaborative service deliveries
Since 2012, the SIG has collaborated with business areas to project manage and deliver over 35 whole-of-University business and digital transformation projects. Below are a few of the most successful deliveries:
HDR Thesis Examinations and Submissions
Higher Degree Research/Division of Student Administration
Release date: October 2018
Deliverables: IDTC developed an eForm for digital HDR thesis submission, which saves time and delivers automated reminders to staff and students about deadlines and pending tasks. It also helps students track the status of their thesis examination with ease.
Research Accounting Project
Finance and Business Services
Release date: September 2018
Deliverables: This project delivered a new policy and procedure that clearly identifies each stage of the approval process. The project also developed a streamlined, unified form to replace requests for S, Q and D funds. F&BS and IDTC are together continuing to look for ways to improve this process, for Version 2 of the eForm.
Concur Purchase Cards
Finance and Business Services
Release date: May 2017
Deliverables: The Concur Expense Management project delivered a digital system for acquitting and approving expenses incurred on ANU purchase cards. This resulted in a reduction in paper usage, faster acquittal times, and a simplified workflow for purchase card users.
Visitors and Honorary Appointees
Human Resources Division
Release date: July 2015
Deliverables: An eForm was delivered which enabled ANU staff to nominate external individuals for visiting or honorary academic positions. This transformed a manual paper process into a simple online form, and automated the activation of ANU IDs and digital accounts for nominated visitors. The result was a significantly simplified, time-saving process.
