Vol. 1 - May 2022

Welcome to the Architect Stage

On May 2, ATP reached an important milestone with the launch of the Architect Stage. In the months ahead, we will move forward with the very exciting work to standardize business processes and implement Workday and select modules of the Huron Research Suite.

When I joined the team in February 2022, I was impressed by the foundation the ATP team has laid: We closed out the Planning Stage with a finalized scope, Workday and Huron Research Suite timelines, and a strong partnership with Huron, our Workday system implementation firm. I’m happy to report that we are well positioned for the work to come.

To mark the beginning of the Architect Stage, ATP is pleased to introduce our monthly newsletter, ATP Touchpoints. We will highlight recent program news, upcoming events, and timely information about the software implementations. We will keep you posted on our progress throughout every stage and let you know what is coming next.

I encourage you to read our newsletter, explore our website, and share your stories with us. Please forward this newsletter to your colleagues and encourage them to subscribe. We appreciate your ongoing support of ATP and the UW System.

Dr. Joanna Wang, EdD
ATP Program Executive and Chief Technology Officer

Connections Corner
ATP’s success depends on experienced people from campuses across the UW System. We asked Kate Mollen, who joined the program from UW-Milwaukee, what about working on ATP inspires her.
"Our team includes people from various departments, divisions, and central offices, so we have great conversations about how to set up the software ... I enjoy making it work. I want to help end users do the work and provide additional value."

—Kate Mollen, Grants & Agreements Design Team Lead
