rSmart Kuali Webinars

  • In this webinar, Marilyn Kisters, Director of Procurement Systems at Indiana University, provides a brief overview of the PUR/AP module, the key features and benefits, and will take you on a guided tour through the system.

    TOPICS COVERED:

    • Why KFS PUR/AP for Higher Education
    • General overview of PUR/AP module including: Documents, Data, Data Flow, and Routing
    • Demonstration that includes: Creating a requisition, assigning a requisition to a contract manager, and processing a purchase order 
  • The demands on college and university Research Administration (RA) offices are increasing in complexity and number while administrative budgets are being reduced.  Fortunately, the Kuali Coeus project offers a solution to the problem. Under the umbrella of the Kuali Foundation, partnering institutions including the University of Arizona, Cornell University, Indiana University, Colorado State University and others are collaborating to develop a complete system—Kuali Coeus—to support RA offices, faculty/researchers, and Finance, Technology Transfer, and other offices with a large stake in research.  

  • This webinar focuses on rSmart's Proof of Concept service which will allow you do a thorough evaluation using a KFS environment with familiar accounts and data, reduce costs and risk by taking incremental and predictable steps throughout your evaluation and implementation, and engage campus stakeholders to create a early buy-in and awareness.

  • Many institutions, like Colorado State University and University of Arizona, have chosen rSmart to assist them in moving from their FRS into the KFS. This webinar compared FRS to KFS, discussed the similarities and differences between the two systems, and shared Colorado State's success story with rSmart's support and service offerings.

  • Lori Ann Shultz, Assistant Director of Sponsored Projects Services at the University of Arizona, provides a full demonstration of Kuali Coeus in this two hour webinar.

  • Kuali Identity Management (KIM) is an important component in the Kuali Rice application, providing central identity and access management services. But you may want to know more about KIM--such as what KIM terms mean, or how KIM settings tie into Rice.

  • Kuali Financials is the first financial system built for and by higher education. Because it's been designed and built by leading universities and colleges, it meets the unique needs of higher education. With rSmart, the total cost of migrating, implementing, and supporting it are far lower than the cost of a proprietary solution!
