We\u2019ve had an opportunity with InfoEd to contribute to the development before it\u2019s released to their other clients,\u201d says Sherrie Settle, associate vice chancellor of sponsored programs and regulatory compliance and a member of the ERA project Steering Team. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what we\u2019ve been doing since summer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of going with InfoEd\u2019s Award Tracking (AT) module, as originally planned, NC State will be implementing PAM in conjunction with the Proposal Tracking (PT) module to replace RADAR. This decision was based solely on our commitment to delivering a product that meets the requirements needed \u2014 and that we <a href=\"https:\/\/research.ncsu.edu\/era\/era-rfp-executive-summary\/\">agreed to deliver<\/a>. It\u2019s not a matter of scope creep or lusting after the latest bells and whistles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pam-what-it-is-and-why-we-went-this-route\">PAM: What It Is and Why We Went This Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the preliminary stages of user acceptance testing began with the previous AT and Financial Tracking (FT) modules, the cumulative cost of inefficiencies in managing each project across PT, AT and FT became obvious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInformation had to be entered or actions had to be taken multiple times to get the data integrity you would want to see,\u201d Settle says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In discussing our concerns with the vendor, we were introduced to their planned PAM module (which replaces the AT and FT modules) and invited to consider it as a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PAM\u2019s functionality will eliminate this duplication of effort by pulling data automatically from PT, which will essentially become a container of project information from PINS initially, then from the RED Proposal Development module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond streamlining award processing efforts, the new PAM module provides mechanisms for better quality control for data, as well as a new and better paradigm for future integrations with our financial systems. PAM really is a next-generation product from InfoEd \u2014 and NC State has had an opportunity to influence its development through early adoption to be sure that it meets our needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"implications-on-project-timeline\"><strong>Implications on Project Timeline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While this decision did extend the length of our implementation timeline, we by no means had to start from square one. With requirements gathering and business process mapping already out of the way, once we got our hands on PAM, it was merely a matter of determining exactly how those requirements will be met and how those processes will be performed in PAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We plan to begin user acceptance testing with PAM later this spring semester. Our internal timeline has re-stabilized and we\u2019ll be posting an updated version of our timeline graphic soon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ll be one of the very first InfoEd clients to implement its brand-new sponsored programs module \u2014 Post-Award Management (PAM).&nbsp; \u201cWe\u2019re optimistic this is going to pay good dividends for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":235,"featured_media":2119,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ncst_custom_author":"","ncst_show_custom_author":false,"ncst_dynamicHeaderBlockName":"ncst\/default-post-header","ncst_dynamicHeaderData":"{\"showAuthor\":true,\"showDate\":true,\"showFeaturedVideo\":false,\"caption\":\"Winter sunrise at the Belltower.
