Implementation of sun-e-HR

Project approach
The implementation of sun-e-HR necessitates a project-management approach because the task is so extensive and because the control of time, cost and quality is extremely important.

sun-e-HR will be implemented in accordance with sound project-management principles and therefore the scope, deliverables, milestones and risks of the project are clearly defined. This also entails that the budget, finances, time, resources, risks and other issues must be managed according to predetermined criteria. Read more here about the project's timeframe and budgets.

The management team
The team responsible for the implementation of sun-e HR includes inter alia:

  • Various experts from the University's implementation partner, Oracle Consulting
  • Various experts from the University's IT, HR and Remuneration departments
  • The change management team
  • A communication and marketing specialist
  • A training specialist
  • Project managers from the University and Oracle Consulting


Project phases
The implementation of sun-e-HR will take place in two phases. Phase 1 was launched on 1 June 2004 and will continue until 2 March 2005. When all the implementation steps have been completed successfully by 2 March, phase 1 will go live.
