Austin Peay’s Govs Suite System
Austin Peay’s Human Resources and Finance applications and products platform, known throughout the university as Banner Human Resources and Banner Finance, are being replaced with a new cloud-based Oracle solution being called Govs Suite. The current systems play a central role in the processing of Austin Peay’s business activities, and the university administration has already begun the implementation process for the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. We expect the Govs Suite project to take between twelve and eighteen months to be completed.
Why are we doing this?
The current computer systems used in Finance and Human Resources utilize an intricate combination of computer software, data standards, and work processes. By updating our system to a modern cloud-based platform, Austin Peay will have the ability to use an integrated system that delivers real-time communication, data entry efficiencies, enhanced security, automated workflows, and evolving technologies. This project is possible due to a one-time $20 million allocation from the Governor and legislators.
Govs Suite is the name chosen for this new system, which supports Austin Peay’s steady effort toward improving operational excellence.
