Dear Members of the Johns Hopkins Community:

Please follow the link below to the Spring-Summer issue of Momentum, a newsletter designed to keep you informed about the HopkinsOne project, current activities, and decisions that will affect the Hopkins community:
http://www.jhu.edu/hopkinsone/Public/Toolbox/documents/SprSmr06.pdf

It’s been a few months since the last issue of Momentum. There is much to report, beginning with this newsletter itself, which has moved to a quarterly schedule while we’ve launched a more frequent, e-mail based newsletter called HopkinsOne News. To stay current with the project, we encourage you to subscribe to the newsletter. (To do so, see: http://www.jhu.edu/hopkinsone/Public/Toolbox/PH1News.htm)

As many of you have heard, we have also chosen a new “go-live” date of Jan 1, 2007, to implement the core functionality of the new SAP software at Johns Hopkins, representing a major change in how we conduct business in finance, human resources, purchasing/supply chain, sponsored projects and research administration.

Our main story this issue is on the “Big Five” HopkinsOne events designed to prepare us for learning and launching this new system. All of these things tie together and we hope the article helps you understand what’s coming and how you’ll get involved, and when.

As always, if you have questions or concerns about HopkinsOne, please send an e-mail to the hotline at: hopkinsonehotline@jhmi.edu

Steve Golding
Executive Director
HopkinsOne
