Out of almost 300 entries submitted to name the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project, one rose to the top in voting and with the selection committee: DASH. DASH (Dynamic Administrative Systems for Higher Ed) will allow multiple business functions—finance, human resources and payroll—to be combined into one source system and be expanded beyond, if required. It also symbolizes the speed and agility the new cloud-based system will bring to UT. Modern ERP systems are proving to be more dynamic and evolve with processes as business changes more quickly.
Kim Giorgio, who works at the UTIA Extension office in Columbia, submitted the winning entry and received a $250 Amazon gift card. Thank you to all who submitted and voted.
