rSmart is hosting Kuali Developer training workshops for Kuali Rice, Kuali Financial System and Kuali Coeus. This training will be held August 15-26, 2011 at the rSmart Corporate Office in Scottsdale, AZ from 8 AM - 5 PM PDT.
Training Overview:
rSmart Kuali Developer training classes provides students with hands-on experience to match to prepare students for Kuali open source applications and technologies. Our classes help students develop expertise in many of the technical aspects of managing, configuring, customizing and developing Kuali applications.
Work is well under way on a new module for the Kuali Financial System—the Travel and Entertainment Module (TEM). Six members of the Kuali community are investing in the project, and they have partnered with rSmart to develop the module.
At many institutions, travel and entertainment expenses are handled through time-consuming paper processes and ad hoc legacy systems. This module provides a streamlined electronic system for authorizing and tracking travel and entertainment expenses. TEM will be integrated with Financial System e-docs, which will route authorization, disbursement, and reimbursement requests and also capture required data.
We’re pleased to announce that the University of Arkansas is partnering with rSmart to implement Kuali Coeus (KC), the open source solution for research administration.
The University of Arkansas is a public research institution with more than 20,000 students. Like many schools, it has struggled with a cumbersome paper trail for its award process. U of A leaders decided to adopt Kuali Coeus and move to an electronic system for the routing and submission of proposals.
At your institution, you may have costs associated with a contract or grant that the sponsoring agency requires be paid from other university accounts. In the Financial System, you can track these costs in special cost share sub-accounts:
