If you are reading this, then it’s likely you’re
one of the thousands of That’s
beginning to change as our school system fully switches to SAP. Beginning
next school year, all employees – those who use computers and those who
do not – will use Employee Self Service (ESS, for short) to manage
their personal employee information. Several
summer sessions are being held to help non-computer using employees ease into
using SAP, particularly ESS. At these sessions, employees will learn how to
turn on a computer and monitor, use the keyboard and mouse,
and how to navigate Windows®, email and the Internet. We take
many of these skills for granted, but it’s important to help all of our
employees feel comfortable using technology. Printed
posters about these trainings have been sent to each school. |

“Follow
Me to SAP” e-newsletter moving to twice-monthly schedule |
|||||||||||||||||||||
|
The
“Follow Me to SAP” newsletter was created primarily to help Phase
I users of SAP acclimate to the system and learn more about how SAP affects
their job responsibilities. Next school year, SAP transitions more heavily
into Phase II and will affect all employees at some point (Employee Self
Service) during the school year. This
newsletter will continue on a twice-monthly basis to Phase I users. As we
move into Employee Self Service, new and different communication methods will
be introduced. Rest
assured, you can still email the SAP Help Desk (SAPhelpdesk@fultonschools.org) or SAPInfo@fultonschools.org
with any questions, at any time. |
