Staff Quotes - UCD FinPOST

Eamonn O'Neill

Programme Owner

I am acting as the Project Owner and chair the Steering Group. Having worked mostly in one section within the Finance Office, I am really enjoying playing a broader role that covers the full spectrum of Finance in UCD. While I've always tried to bring improvements to my role within the Finance Office, the scale of improvement that we bring about through FinPOST will be of a completely different order of magnitude and I believe it will be really fulfilling to contribute towards that.

Emma Acton

Operational Purchasing Coordinator

Having been part of such integral finance teams for over twenty years, I am really excited to be part of the FINPOST team and play a vital role in such a transformational project. The rewards and positive impact a new financial system will have on all user experiences within the Finance Unit, and throughout the University will be worth all the hard work!

Robert Murphy

Head of Financial Planning and Management

Over my career I've been involved in a number of system implementations and I'm looking forward to bringing this experience to the FinPOST project. My role on the FinPOST project is as co-lead on the Financial Planning & Management Accounting workstream and I'm really excited about enhancing the end user experience of interacting with Finance into the future and creating streamlined supporting processes.

Siobhán Dunne

I’m currently working on the enterprise architecture capturing the ‘as is’ position. I’m optimistic the efforts and inputs of all parties on FinPOST will result in enabling us to work in a more efficient and responsive way with our internal and external stakeholders.

From my knowledge and experience in the accounts payable team I hope to be able to positively contribute to this project in the areas of Expenses and Payments.

Nicola Tyrell-Maher

General Ledger Manager

During my time in UCD I have witnessed the frustration and various workarounds that my colleagues have endured with the current systems. I was delighted to be invited to work with the FinPOST team as I want to make things better. I enjoy problem solving, reviewing the root causes and working with colleagues to find solutions and will apply this to FinPOST.

Stephen Skipwith

Process Improvement Lead

The project is in many ways a unique experience, a rare meeting of an organisation’s desire to move to best of class and a project team heavy on internal talent dedicated to making the project a success.

Mark Hargaden

Project Manager IT Services

This is an important project for IT services that will be a major part of the digital transformation happening in the university. I look forward to facilitating IT services support of this project and its implementation. In particular, integrating the new system with the existing systems in the university.
