ERP Application Specialist (P-4)
Realization by the IAEA of enterprise resource planning (ERP) is central to increasing efficiency and effectiveness in programme delivery. The IAEA's ERP, known as the IAEA-wide Information System for Programme Support (AIPS), will improve the quality, accuracy and timeliness of, and access to, management information, and will harmonize and streamline the processes that underpin programme delivery. The objective is to implement a single, fully integrated solution that leverages Oracle ERP software and best practice processes, replacing 45 stand-alone systems. Eight business areas will be addressed: finance, procurement, programme and project management, human resources, contacts, meetings, travel and transportation. The initial phase focused on the first three areas and facilitated the introduction of new accounting standards (International Public Sector Accounting Standards - IPSAS). The project is now addressing other business areas. The project is overseen by the AIPS Project Board. The project involves the re-engineering of business processes, handling all aspects of change management and the implementation of a standard ERP system in partnership with a commercial contractor/consultancy, including new architecture for hardware and software and migration from old systems, as well as ensuring interoperability with related solutions. The AIPS project is led by a Project Leader, who reports to the Deputy Director General for Management, who acts as the Project Executive. The AIPS project team consists of approximately 20 staff members plus consultants from the commercial contractor (implementation partner/systems integrator). The incumbent is a member of a small team reporting to a stream lead, who in turn reports to the Project Leader. |
