The State decided to remain consistent with the current practice in HRIS, which is to track only State employees in AZ360. Contracted temporary employees for State agencies will continue to be tracked through the Purchasing system to avoid any employee policy related issues.

Yes, that is the plan for current employees, but the full process will be designed in the Project’s second phase, which begins in the fall of 2024. 

Yes, AZ360 meets ADA compliance for accessibility and is compatible with screen readers. The CGI Advantage solution that AZ360 is based on includes built-in accessibility features meant to support federal Section 508 requirements as well as the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These accessibility features are available for and may be beneficial for all users. However, they were designed specifically to address accessibility issues. The system supports JAWS® for Windows and NVDA Screen Reader used in conjunction with Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.

No, AZ360 HR is being configured as an enterprise-wide solution for all State of Arizona employees. This cloud-based solution uses standardized, leading edge technology and processes – with minimal specialized configurations – to maximize efficiency, enhance security and other features, and extend the solution's life for many years to come.

The Travel Module in AZ360 is planned to be implemented following the go-live of AZ360 HRM.
 

Yes. Departmental User Acceptance Testing is scheduled to occur Nov. 18, 2024 - Feb. 7, 2025.

Yes, as part of the Project’s second phase of work, the State will replace PageUp with an enterprise-wide solution,  which is called Cornerstone (AZ360’s recruitment module.) 
 

When 1B goes live, as an enterprise we will be on AZ360 Advantage's recruitment module, which is called Cornerstone. Agency's won't have the ability to bolt any ATS systems onto our enterprise wide recruitment system. 
 

Arizona’s HRIS technology is over 20 years old and the system is becoming obsolete. Having application support no longer available places critical records and financial data of all state employees and retirees at risk. HRIS modernization is needed to carry out efficient and compliant HR services, with leading-edge technology saving up to 3 million staff hours a year.

Nearly all active State of Arizona employees use HRIS to complete personnel related business, such as entering electronic timesheets, submitting leave requests, participating in performance evaluations, and completing learning and development training. Many employees and retirees also use HRIS to apply for and manage their healthcare benefits. In addition, there are about a thousand state employees whose day to day work involves managing data or other functional operations within the system.

We expect so! If the State was simply to repackage the old way of doing things with a shinier look, it wouldn’t justify the cost or the effort. Instead, we are hoping that everyone who operates in the new system will experience a generational type of shift in value-added functionality and ease of use. It’s going to be a state-of-the-art enterprise resource planning system that is built and maintained to industry best standards and suitable for the State of Arizona’s evolving, rapidly changing 21st century workforce.

Phase 1A of the HRIS Modernization Project, targeted for completion and Go Live in October 2025, includes: Position Control, Personnel Management, Benefits, Deductions (including Garnishments), Time and Leave Management, Payroll, Payroll Accounting Management, and Employee/Manager Self-Service Roles

Phase 1B of the project, to be completed by October 2026, includes: Talent Acquisition, Learning Management, Employee Relations, and Performance Management and Succession Planning.

Regardless of how much or how little your agency, board, or commission works day-to-day in the HRIS application, most State of Arizona employees still need to use the system for things like electronic time entry and payroll purposes. Agency Captains play a critical role in the success of the project since they are the HRIS Modernization Project team’s primary way to communicate information about the project, assess agency readiness to operate in the new AZ360 system, and at the appropriate time, assist in scheduling employee training.
