Finance Modules to Transition to the New Employee Space on July 5
As previously announced, DPS is transitioning from Infor/Lawson/GHR/Learning Space to a new Employee Space, hosted by the cloud-based Oracle solution. The new Employee Space will house Finance and Human Resources transactions for employees and managers -- all in one place. The transition will improve ease-of-use, system reliability and operational efficiency. 

At this time, we are focusing on the Finance rollout and preparing Team DPS for this transition. This phase will impact districtwide processes; however, the shift will only impact day-to-day operations for those responsible for tasks that include entering financial requisitions, p-card reconciliation, conducting supplier inquiries, delegating access, managing invoices, submitting reimbursement or per-diem and other associated functions.

June Cutover Period: In order to ensure accurate data for go live, we are implementing cutoff dates for financial transactions. June 24 is the last day for employees to transact in Finance Infor/ Lawson. Transactions are anticipated to resume in the new Employee Space on July 5.  

Click here for detailed information on key cutover dates and to learn what to expect from the system migration. Note: There are no changes to Human Resources transactions at this time. These modules are scheduled to go-live in the new Employee Space in October 2022.
