HTC Plays Key Implementation Partner Role in MSU Enterprise Business Systems

TROY, Mich., July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- HTC Global Services (HTC) is pleased to announce its role as an Implementation Partner in the successful deployment of Michigan State University (MSU)'s Enterprise Business Systems (EBS). The new systems replaced MSU's legacy Financial, HR, and BI systems with integrated enterprise-wide systems that are flexible, sustainable and support improved and streamlined business processes.

MSU selected HTC as an Implementation Partner to assist in the following applications:

• Financial: Kuali Financial System (KFS)
• HR and Payroll: SAP
• BI: Cognos

As a Kuali Commercial Affiliate, HTC provided its proven technology expertise to enhance KFS to meet MSU's functional requirements. HTC assisted MSU with setup of KFS in development, testing, training, and production environments, undertook data migration activities, customized KFS business rules, created extension objects, electronic documents (both maintenance and transactional), and a batch framework that integrated with third party vendor products. HTC also developed real-time external system interfaces, reporting structures and performance testing scripts.

"HTC 's team of application architects, Java and Cognos developers and SAP technical-functional consultants worked along side MSU staff through the various phases of this multi-year engagement.  The EBS suite of  applications are critically important for MSU, and we are very pleased to go live with this implementation," says Bruce Alexander, MSU's  EBS Project Director.

"The Kuali community is pleased to recognize the success of MSU in their KFS implementation, and pleased that HTC was part of that success.  HTC is a Kuali Commercial Affiliate that exhibits the core values of Kuali by working with both project teams and implementing schools to provide services around the open source software.  This creates a support model that the community needs, while creating an effective model for their own business activities," said Jennifer Foutty, Executive Director of the Kuali Foundation.  

"HTC is thrilled to be an implementation partner to MSU for the EBS project. HTC continues to play an active role in advocating and promoting the mission of the Kuali Foundation and its associated initiatives, as it continues to implement multiple solutions for higher education," says Vikas Bhutada, Executive VP of HTC.
