U of T Enterprise Modernization Program
The U of T Enterprise Modernization Program is set to upgrade the Administrative Management Systems and transform the future for more than 33,000 staff and faculty.
In reviewing options to upgrade and modernize U of T Administrative Management Systems, Enterprise Applications & Solutions Integration (EASI) will use the latest SAP technology to upgrade all systems – providing a consistent, intuitive and streamlined user experience.
The U of T Enterprise Modernization Program is a three-to five- year project that will transform the entire HR Talent Management Suite and the core HR, Research and Finance systems. This project will also upgrade existing technology to a more robust cloud platform with an in-memory database for faster system performance.
On November 3, 2021, EASI launched the next phase of the U of T Enterprise Modernization Project, called the S/4HANA Migration. As part of this phase, we moved to new platform. Learn more about the detailed implementation plan.
