The FMIS Deployment Process

When deploying to Unit4, the PMU will work closely with each agency to ensure a smooth transition to the new system. Once scheduled, there are six stages in the deployment process:

SCHEDULING

Agencies vary in size, operational requirements and complexity. These factors are carefully considered when scheduling an agency for deployment.

REQUIREMENTS SCOPING

Several workshops are conducted to confirm an agencies organizational, reporting and approval structure. The agency will also advise on core business processes and the PMU will identify gaps or process improvement opportunities where required.

MIGRATION

The agencies financial data (from their previous system) is analyzed and loaded into Unit4. Discrepancies must be rectified prior to migration.  Data is loaded from 2019, when Unit4 initially went live, to the date of deployment.

TRAINING

This is conducted in the FMIS training room or onsite if requested.

GO LIVE

On the first week of deployment, the PMU will provide onsite support.

POST GO LIVE SUPPORT

Following deployment, the FMIS Support helpdesk will assist with all Unit4 enquiries, training as well as providing guides for all core FMIS functions.
