Dear UNT System Community,
We are excited to share with you an overview of our upcoming software implementation, PageUp.This platform will complement PeopleSoft (EIS) and modernize business processes, specifically focusing on position descriptions, applicant tracking, performance management, onboarding, and succession planning. This initiative is driven by our commitment to enhance the overall user experiences of employees, candidates, and people managers.

- Enhanced Functionalities to streamline HR processes, making them more efficient and effective.
- Improved End-to-End Processes to create seamless connections, reduce manual interventions, and enhance overall process speed and efficiency.
- Increased System Flexibilities with improved adaptability, allowing for easier configurations to meet the needs
of our organization.
Who Benefits

User Feedback Integration
We have and will continue to seek feedback from users via surveys, focus groups, and
other means to better understand their needs and challenges. This feedback will continue
to play a crucial role in shaping how we utilize PageUp for future business processes
and system configurations.
Implementation Phases
To ensure a smooth transition and minimize disruptions to our daily operations, this rollout will be conducted in multiple phases. This phased approach will allow the implementation team to address any issues that may arise in the process and provide a better user experience.
Training and Support
To ensure a successful transition, comprehensive training sessions will be provided and required for all users, depending on their specific roles. The sessions will cover the new system's features, functionalities, and processes. A dedicated webpage with resources and guides will be created to assist users during and beyond the implementation phases.
Next Steps
In the coming weeks and months, you can expect detailed communications for each implementation phase, including information regarding user testing and training schedules. We are confident that PageUp will significantly enhance our HR processes, improve user experiences, and contribute to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our organization.
