Announcement

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.

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.

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.

The UT Works Program launched a Transformation Network and a Communications Network in the fall to help units involved in the program understand the changes coming with UT Works.

The Design Phase of the UT Works program is kicking off in November with preliminary design sessions with “The Core Design Team,” representatives from Facilities Planning and Management (FPM), Enterprise Business IT Solutions (eBITS), Utilities and Energy Management (UEM), Technology Resources (TRecs), and Business Financial Services (BFS). The Core Design Team will be responsible for making configuration and process decisions with the goal of a “one business process for one business need,” a core tenant of the UT Works program. The Core Design Team was selected by the UT Program Oversight Committee.
