Today, the computer systems used in Finance and Human Resources utilize a complex combination of computer software, data standards, and work processes. A move to a modern cloud-based platform gives MTSU the ability to use an integrated system that promotes real-time communication, data entry efficiencies, enhanced security, automated workflows, and evolving technologies. 

The implementation of True Blue Fusion will take time because we need to maintain our current business operations while simultaneously evaluating and transitioning all our processes to the new system. This ensures that our processes follow leading practices to increase efficiency, reduce redundancy, and remove administrative barriers. Additionally, it takes time to plan, set up, configure, and test the system for the hundreds of transactions that True Blue Fusion will support. We also need to verify that the data transferred from Banner Human Resources and Banner Finance is accurate and that the processes function as designed.

Yes. Training will be available and ongoing for all employees on the new system.

While the total implementation cost of the system has not yet been determined, MTSU is managing project expenses using the $20 million in funding set aside in the Governor鈥檚 Budget.  Total costs largely depend on the university鈥檚 need to operate efficiently and without redundancy while following leading practices.

True Blue Fusion will be more efficient and increase productivity, allowing users to spend time on higher-level tasks.

Oracle Cloud ERP is an end-to-end, modern, cloud-based software as a service suite that will manage operational functions such as financial management, grants, projects, and procurement throughout the University. Oracle鈥檚 performance capabilities will assist in planning, budgeting, predicting, and reporting financial results.

Oracle Cloud HCM is a comprehensive suite designed to unify and automate processes across various HR functions. It provides end-to-end workforce visibility, covering areas such as, Recruiting, Human Resources, Talent Management, Workforce Management, Learning, Time/Absence Management, and Payroll. The solution aims to simplify the means for collecting and analyzing workforce data, helping senior leaders and frontline managers align staff skills with evolving organizational needs.

Specific capabilities designed to serve departments within MTSU bundled together in Oracle Cloud to provide the most suitable customized product for the University. For example, Oracle Cloud uses the integration among modules–such as Payables, Accounts Receivable, Project Portfolio Management (PPM), Procurement, and Contracts–to collect costs and to feed accounting to the General Ledger.

Based on the functionality of the Oracle solutions MTSU will implement, the following Banner and 3rd Party solutions will be discontinued: Banner Finance, Banner HR, MT$ource, and PageUp.

A good reference for the functionality being moved to the Oracle solutions can be viewed on the Scope page of the True Blue Fusion website.

The MTSU Student Information System environment will continue to function in the Banner Student and other 3rd party solutions that are now in place. (Including but not limited to Banner Student, Curriculog, Slate, Navigate, and Degree Works).

One of the primary reasons to move to a cloud-based system is to adopt industry best practices, which simplifies implementation, training, ongoing updates, flexibility, and data integrity. The Oracle Cloud systems come with many parameters and options that can be configured to meet MTSUs specific needs while still retaining the best practice methodology that does not support customizing the system. The use of configuration rather than customization allows MTSU to achieve the full benefits of cloud-based systems.
