ABS have advised that eExpenses will be de-supported from 12/13 and the University will urgently require a replacement for this service. The purpose of this project is to identify the best way forward for the University over the next 3-5 years. Then having identified the solution the project will implement the recommended option.

The Project will deliver an electronic expenses solution for the University which could be delivered via a number of options e.g. by replacing eExpenses or adopting the ABS software, or purchase of alternative software or in-house solution.

The scope of the project is to provide an electronic expenses solution which integrates with eFinancials and is supportable over the next 3-5 years.

Success will be the seamless provision of a new or supportable electronic expenses solution to University staff, students and other visitors from the existing one without having to resort to a paper solution.

The benefits of an electronic expenses system have already been realised. This project is needed to ensure that these benefits are maintained e.g. payment in 3 working days from authorisation to payment, elimination of paper copies.
