UT Works is now live! Look for communications from your managers and unit leadership with additional information about how to begin using UT Works. If you have questions about getting started with UT Works, contact your manager or supervisor.

At 4 p.m. on October 31, 2024, both FAMIS and WORQS will go offline. This marks the end of an era (Happy Retirement FAMIS and WORQS!) and the beginning of the transition to UT Works.

UT Works will go live on November 5, 2024.

This article is a reprint of a message sent by Jim Davis (SVP/COO) and Cole Complese (VP/CIO) to the leaders of units that will transition to using UT Works in November.

As we enter the homestretch of UT Works implementation, the Transformation Network will refocus on activities that will help their coworkers and team members transition to using UT Works. To achieve this focus, leadership within each business unit designated participants as either Change Champions or Change Leaders, with each role taking part in specific events and training.

The Transformation Network’s Change Leaders are managers and supervisors from the various units taking part in the UT Works Program. As they are responsible for managing teams and operations, they need tools to help their teams navigate the transition to using UT Works.

This summer, the UT Works Program team will pull together a workgroup of representatives from across campus to learn more about how they submit work requests and how to best capture that information.

On March 23, members of the Transformation and Communications Networks received an update on the UT Works Program along with an introduction to the Change Management plans the Organizational Readiness (OR) team will use to prepare UT staff for the transition to the UT Works system. Meetings were held for both day and evening shift staff to accommodate as many network members as possible.

The UT Works Program recently released a detailed timeline for the implementation of modules included in Phase 1.

Completed in December, the first round of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) design sessions produced the first recommendation documents for review and validation by representatives in the participating units. Design sessions provide a forum for exchanging ideas and best practices as participants work together to determine how the UT Works program will improve business processes by leveraging the functionality of the technical system.
