University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Expands ePAF™ to Faculty
27 February 2009

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) has engaged Gideon Taylor to help extend their successful ePAF™ implementation to serve the Faculty population. The existing ePAF™ Hire, Job Change, Leave of Absence and Termination eForms will be expanded to include faculty fields, administrative and secondary titles, and complex salary calculations.

 

In addition to the ePAF™ Faculty eForms, a Personal Data eForm will be added for both Staff and Faculty use. A Security eForm will also be implemented to manage security role requests, approvals, grants and revocations. The Security eForm will also interface with the Service Now ticket tracking system to log a corresponding service ticket, even as the ticket is automatically worked and closed.

 

The project scope will also include the addition of scanned attachment support to all eForms.

 

We appreciate OUHSC's ongoing investment in our solutions and expertise, and look forward to providing the school's faculty with the efficiency and environmental savings of ePAF™.


First eForms Client Wakefern Starts Upgrade to GT eForms™ 2.8
23 February 2009

Wakefern Food Corporation, our very first eForms client, has engaged Gideon Taylor to assist them in upgrading their GT eForms™ install from version 1.0 to 2.8. The GT eForms™ upgrade will take place in conjunction with Wakefern's HRMS 8.3 to HCM 9.0 upgrade project. The upgrade project is being led and staffed by our partner firm, Infocrossing EAS.


Wakefern commissioned Gideon Taylor to create the first version of GT eForms™ in 2003, to automate their HR transactions. Gideon Taylor created the framework and a Termination eForm, and trained Wakefern staff. Since then, Wakefern has used GT eForms™ to build twenty-one additional eForm solutions internally.


This upgrade will expand the automation and efficiency possibilities for the Wakefern team, as they can leverage the power and functionality that has been added to GT eForms™ over the last six years.


The combined Infocrossing and Gideon Taylor team appreciates Wakefern's trust and investment, and look forward to a successful project.


Impressive New ePAF™ Metrics from University of Utah
05 February 2009

The University of Utah compiled several data points comparing their first six months using GT ePAF™, May to October 2008, to the same timeframe in 2007. Check out their short presentation, ePAF™ By The Numbers.

 

One compelling outcome they measured was the change in number of overtime or compensatory time hours paid with and without ePAF™. Before ePAF™, in 2007, they paid 859 over/comp hours from May to October. For the same months of 2008, using ePAF™, that number dropped to 105 hours - an 88% decrease! This translates to tens of thousands in hard-dollar savings.

 

Even more impressive is that their results include the time during which ePAF™ was still being rolled out - meaning that ePAF™ lightened the University's workload even during its phased implementation!

 

Many thanks to the University of Utah for sharing this very interesting information.
