The Budget Office provides a number of information systems tools to help
campus units track, manage, and plan their financial resources and
commitments.
Financial Manager’s
Workbench (FMW) is the application used to manage the campus’
permanent budget and staffing commitments. In addition to its role
as a transaction system, FMW is a highly flexible software tool well
suited to budgeting and planning applications.
- The system provides access to multi-year permanent budget information at both the
transaction level and summary/roll-up level aiding both analysis and
research;
- Integration of detailed monthly distribution of
payroll expense (DOPE) data with summary FIS operating ledger data
to facilitate monitoring and forecasting of your current year
operating budget.
Data extracted from the financial (FIS), budget (FMW), personnel (PPS),
student (SIS/AIS), course (SCiiPI) and facilities (FacLink) campus
systems are aggregated in the UC Santa Cruz Data Warehouse to enable
staff to use information in analysis and decision-making; providing
standard and ad hoc reports to peers; and meeting their unit's
business objectives.
Information systems optimized to meet budget and resource
management/planning needs include:
-
Infoview XI™
— web accessible report-reading and writing tool. Offers a full suite of certified
reports for each subject area to ensure information is interpreted consistently; the tool
also allows staff to write and run custom reports specific to their
unit's planning requirements; and
-
VistaPlus™ — an electronic
report repository with archived information from the campus's personnel (PPS) and financial
(FIS) systems.
Training on each of these systems is available through
Data Management
Services
— a unit of Planning and Budget.
