The North Dakota's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Implementation Project at the URL: http://www.nodak.edu/connectnd/ contains information on North Dakota's state-wide implementation to replace the current mainframe legacy (CICSA, CICSB, TSO, etc.) system. This project has the name ConnectND.
ConnectND is the PeopleSoft ERP software system being configured to replace the current administrative computer functions that handle student administration on campuses, and financial and human resource applications throughout higher education and North Dakota state government. ConnectND will upgrade outdated systems and expand services for all state employees as well as students. Personnel from general government and the North Dakota University System are assisted in this installation by Maximus, an implementation company.
The three major functional areas of the project are: Student Administration, Financials, and Human Resources. Starting in September IVN sessions are scheduled for 9:00 each Thursday morning. One session will be a general ConnectND update with the other three sessions geared to specific end users in the major functional areas. The schedule follows:
| 1st Thursday of the month | Financial End Users Update |
| 2nd Thursday of the month | General ConnectND Update |
| 3rd Thursday of the month | Human Resources Update |
| 4th Thursday of the month | Student Administration Update |
You are welcome to attend any and all sessions. They will be held in the UND Gamble Hall IVN room. If you are an end user of any of the major functional areas you may find it beneficial to attend that session.
