- Review proposal to change our interpretation on
how we operate under the Stull Bill (provide
greater UC flexibility) - Real estate will require a separate effort/group
- Contract Limits Review proposals to determine if
appropriate, what goes into project costs - Methods of delivery for projects (use group that
would include OGC) - Examine ramifications, credibility, legitimacy,
cost of construction review - Lead Owner Mike B, working with George
Pernsteiner, Mike Bocchicchio, Larry Aull, Lori
Hoffman, Ed Denton
7Initial Discussions of Next Steps Strategic
Sourcing (become very aggressive on system wide
contracts)
- Set a specific target of what UC will save via
strategic sourcing contracts date, of
contracts negotiated, with average savings of __
(or __), and penetration of total campus spend. - Ask Stuart Davis and Anne Broome to develop a
plan for addressing the top 20 commodities via
systemwide contracts - Provide advice to Stuart/Anne on desire to push
aggressively on certain large ticket items (e.g.
Ohio State desktop initiative). - Natural Gas pricing at many campuses is very big
cost item, where a very small savings
translates into large s savings. - Build on work done at UCLA, and 3 - Campus
Project. - Potential large savings in systemwide software
licensing (Lead Kris) - Lead Owner Stuart Davis, Anne Broome Mike on
natural gas, waste mgmt)
8Initial Discussions of Next Steps Eliminate
Paper Processes at UC (systemwide policy, review
tools, strategy)
- Provide a context that is relatively inexpensive,
simple, and builds on what exists on campuses - Put together a group of a couple of CIOs, Penny
White (UCI), policy - Go after applications that can save big s, such
as moving W2 forms to electronic form, pay -
stubs electronically, etc. - Build on success of UC for Yourself, by extending
this approach to other self-service applications - Build on work done at UCI, UCLA in area of W2s
and payroll stubs - Lead Owner Kris Hafner
9Initial Discussions of Next Steps Legislative
Regulatory Changes (Surepay, 72 - Hour Rule,
Whistleblower)
- Need to prepare proposed legislation that would
reduce significant workload at campuses and OP,
as part of new Governors legislative reform
package. - New legislation would exempt UC, based on the
degree of budget cuts sustained, from current
regulations mandating a paper check option for
employees. - New legislation would allow UC to pay terminated
employees in the next regular payment period,
electronically (exempt UC from 72 - hour rule). - Streamline whistleblower regulations
- Lead Owner Colleen, working with General
Counsel, Controllers, Bruce Darling
10Initial Discussions of Next Steps Clarify Roles
in Critical Business Areas

respect to collective bargaining and other
business processes where the campuses and OP
share responsibility - This is a longer term issue
- Lead Owner (for collective bargaining) Judy
Boyette
11Initial Discussions of Next Steps Travel
Management
- Explore development of a preferred, outsourced
travel management entity that would provide all
travel booking and management. Alternatively,
streamline and automate current travel processes
to eliminate paper associated with the travel
process. - Need Data on volume of travel expenses at UC
- Consider talking to travel experts and travel
associations about potential savings from
restructuring and outsourcing function. - Exploring a very intuitive web site for travel,
drop requirement for receipts - Lead Owner Anne Broome
12Initial Discussions of Next Steps Portal
Content
- Share portal content among campuses.

together the current state of campuses in this
area. - Lead Owner Kris, coordinating Dave Tomcheck,
John McCleary, Judy Boyette
13Immediate Actions
- Quantify Savings of Recent Initiatives This
will be critical to establish credibility of our
future initiatives. - Quantify Cost Saving Targets For High Priority
Projects This will be critical in order to
convince President, Regents, Budget Office and
other stakeholders to make required investment in
technology tools. - Quantify number, scope, and cost of legislative
mandates. This is important in establishing a
context for a key driver of admin workload. - Communications with stakeholders
