Hello Colleagues,

We continue to make steady progress transitioning from Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) to the Chancellor’s Office-supported Common Financial System (CFS) Data Warehouse as part of the Enterprise Data Transformation (EDT) Project, a five-year initiative to modernize our data architecture and strengthen our culture of data-informed decision-making. A campus-wide CFS Data Warehouse Task Force continues to guide this transition with a target final transition for stateside finance data users in July of 2026.  

Progress to Date
Over the past six months, the project team and task force have:

• Completed initial reviews of report requirements and data mapping
• Worked with campus representatives to identify super users who will support testing and training
• Developed resources to help guide colleagues through the transition
• Conducted initial training sessions
• Established recurring Drop-In Training Sessions

Looking Ahead
In the coming months, we will:

• Continue expanding Financial Reporting training opportunities and refining resources based on campus feedback
• Begin training on Labor Cost Dashboards and developing resources
• Support campus units as they adopt the CFS Data Warehouse in daily operations 

We encourage you to stay engaged:

• Visit our resource page for resources and guides
  
• Join an upcoming Drop In Training session to learn more and share your feedback
  
• Every 2nd & 4th Tuesday of the month
• 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
