As GVP of Enterprise Business Applications, Frances Chao, shared on Tuesday’s IS Open Forum, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) go-live – known as Project Genesis – has been extended by six months, due to COVID-19.
Our system’s focus is on providing immediate relief to current operations and caregiver priorities, and the need to free up up financial resources for crisis response and recovery efforts. This delay supports that direction and also provides greater flexibility to prioritize when and how we engage our team resources, while the immediate focus will be on IS-driven activities.
While significant progress was made in recent months as the program closed its design phase, this extension will allow the team to focus on IS-driven activities, such as the technical builds, optimization, and data conversions, and not take up critical time of our partners throughout PSJH.
“Replanning” efforts are currently underway, but this extension will provide the positives of a longer runway and greater flexibility when we resume the work with our enterprise partners.
