The Medical School Payroll Office will serve as a test group for a program designed to streamline and centralize record keeping in the university's financial departments, Joe B. Wyatt, director of financial systems and information technology, said yesterday.
Savings due to the new system could amount to $90,000 over a one year period, according to the budget report to the Board of Overseers which was released Monday.
The program, which has already been instituted at other financial offices of the University entails linking the payroll office with a central computer system and other offices through a network of minicomputer systems. If it proves successful at the Med School, the computer link-up will be installed at other schools, Wyatt said.
Wyatt said he expects completion of the project within the next eighteen months.
