The primary purpose of these meetings was to define the requirements for the first module to be implemented, Conflict of Interest (COI).  During our meetings we discussed the annual reporting process, defined roles and notifications, and documented workflows for the various business processes.  Based on these workflow designs, the vendor has begun to configure the COI module and a prototype for Brown to review in a development environment is expected by mid-January 2016.  

In addition to the COI module discussions, we were provided with an overview of InfoEd’s implementation strategy, security design, and configuration process.  The project team is in the process of  mapping Brown data, e.g. departments, sponsors, people into InfoEd and configuring various forms, tables, and related “pick” lists of values in InfoEd.  We plan to begin to load Brown data in January 2016.
