About DTU
Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is an autonomous mono-faculty university with more than 20 departments and a number of subsidiary companies. DTU provides education, research, consultancy and innovation at a high international level. The university has about 5,000 employees. More than half of them are researchers and there are about 8,000 ongoing projects.
The Challenge
One of the key areas that needed attention was establishing a common IT platform and a new solution for financial management of projects into the system. This uniformity is required to ensure that all departments and offices manage project finances in the same way.
Our Answer
In 2008, DTU chose to expand its Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle Projects. It was implemented as a standard solution delivered by Logica. It was supplemented by another Logica
system for time recording and allocation of payroll costs.
Payroll costs are usually the major expenses in a research project. It is important that they are distributed correctly – especially when there is both internal and external financing of the
project. At DTU payroll allocation takes place automatically each month. This is of no special
value if there are no payroll costs to distribute. The Logica solution for payroll allocation makes it easy and quick for the employees to record their time spent. “99% of all time sheets are
recorded on time each month”, Nell Rindahl observes.
