2012 AssetWorld Achievement Award

Cynthia Garcia, Rich Miller, and Steve Hoskins had the privilege of accepting the 2012 AssetWorld Achievement Award.  This award was one of only two Achievement Awards given at AssetWorld 2012 Annual Facilities Users Conference. The University of Utah received this award for our integration of AiM with Kronos. 

Currently we are the only university that has integrated AiM with their time reporting system and eliminated the need for double time entry.  Data Systems worked with ACS and AssetWorks to develop a web application that imports the data from the AiM database into Kronos.  This integration allows for daily imports and confirmation of supervisor approval.  By developing the Kronos integration they  were able to save one FTE in payroll entry.  They also reduced the number of dependent applications that we ran in payroll and eliminated the IT costs associated with application support.  They  also estimate that they've saved 15 trees in reduced paper costs J The work metrics are much better as we are able to match our time exactly with the work done.  Our employees know exactly what they'll be paid for and the systems always balance. 

We are very proud of Data Systems for all the hard work it has taken to reach this achievement.
