AZ360 Project Update

Please view the AZ360 Project Dashboard for current information on the project’s status and key milestones toward Phase 1A implementation. The project continues its progress toward key testing milestones involving user acceptance testing (UAT), mock conversion and parallel payroll processing. Project UAT runs July 29-Nov. 15, to be followed by Departmental UAT Nov. 18-Feb. 7, 2025. Four rounds each of mock conversions and parallel payroll will occur between now and May 20, 2025 implementation. These testing activities simulate cutover from the existing HRIS to the AZ360 platform using replicated HR and payroll data for the purpose of finding and fixing defects through each round of testing.

You Said, We Did!

With system configuration now complete, we are able to start talking about the many changes AZ360 users can expect to see. Many of the changes were made to address pain points that agencies raised, including some where agencies said they wanted something different than we had proposed. One example: reorgs. Initially we shared that anytime a position moved within the organization, a new position number would be generated. But power users told us that process would be a tracking nightmare, so the project team reconfigured the To Be process, and now agencies will use a wizard for all reorgs, and the existing position number will remain unchanged. A big win!

Upcoming Business Process Demonstrations 

The Manager Self Service business process will be the featured demonstration on July 25 from 9-10 a.m. This demonstration is intended for HRIS power users to help them understand what a manager can see and do in MSS. It is not intended to be training for managers; similar content will be covered in employee self-learning tools made available to all personnel before AZ360 go-live. All business process demonstrations are video recorded and posted on the AZ360 website. The project team has invited specific agency power users to attend the live, virtual demonstrations. Others wishing to attend may email [email protected] to request an invitation. View the schedule of upcoming business process demonstrations.
