University of Alberta Awards GT-Sierra Contract for Delegation eForm
28 December 2009
The University of Alberta (UA) has chosen a Gideon Taylor-Sierra Systems team and GT eForms™ technology to deliver a system to manage and verify delegation authority.
The system will allow an administrator to authorize a delegate to sign in his or her behalf for certain forms and departments, and for a range of time, with appropriate email notification to the delegation recipients. It will also allow signatures on included forms to be verified; by querying a form type, department and signature date, the verifier can see the signatures of all authorized signers.
As usual, the template of the completed form will be added to the GT eForms™ Library.
Work on the project will commence in February 2010. We appreciate UA's ongoing confidence and trust.
University of Utah Gets Major I-9 / E-Verify Compliance Update
18 December 2009
The University of Utah, as a participant in the Compliance Maintenance program for Gideon Taylor's automated employment verification solutions, received important compliance updates for their GT Paperless I-9™ and GT E-Verify Integration™ installations, with implementation and testing assistance from GT consultants, at no additional cost.
The updates will keep the University current with recent E-Verify web services changes from the Department of Homeland Security, which must be implemented within 6 months of release. GT also helped the University implement new queueing functionality, allowing E-Verify transactions to be held when the DHS service is down and processed automatically when it is available again.
UA GT eForms™ Upgrade Reaches Dev Complete Milestone
17 December 2009
The joint GT-Sierra project team at the University of Alberta (UA) reached a significant milestone today, successfully reaching Development Complete status. This project brings UA's SmartForms (ePAF™) solution forward onto GT eForms™ 2.8, opening the opportunity for more HR business process automation and efficiency.
When UA first implemented SmartForms in 2006, their PeopleSoft HR system was only at version 8.3. To utilize the newer GT eForms™ technology, GT eForms™ was installed and SmartForms built on their Financials 8.8 database, with an innovative, web services-based "bridge" pass completed eForms into the HR system.
The current project rehosts the GT eForms™ and SmartForms solutions to the since-upgraded HCM 9.0 database. An extensive retooling of the SmartForms solution into the new GT eForms™ 2.8 architecture will enhance maintenance and speed delivery of new functionality.
