Implementation challengesImplementation challenges
Atlas, which in all fairness needs to be viewed as a work in progress at this juncture, has already brought appreciable gains to the organization. Finally, many of the issues we came across are surprisingly not unlike those relating to the implementation of any ERP system.

“This project enabled UNDP to underpin its global network of offices with a means to standardize business processes and adopt best practices internationally across main business areas, including HR, finance, procurement and project management," said Jackie Cheng, consulting senior practice director, Oracle. "It is one of the fastest, most complex deployments of ERP software in the world.”

Benefit
Savings from phased out legacy systems
Corporate pay-roll for national staff & ALDs
Quantifiable benefitsQuantifiable benefits
• No need for multiple systems at country offices and HQ (partially realized)
• No need for local tape back ups
• Single centralized disaster recovery plan ensures availability of data and system
• Cost savings from the elimination of requirement for a team of staff reconciling pension
• ATLAS now ensures that one pay-roll pays staff, pension and medical benefit plan correctly
Value to UN Partners & UN system
• Improved portfolio management. Uneven across portfolio but estimated at 1% of total delivery per year (starting 2005: approximately USD 30 millions)
• E banking capability
Streamlined, more efficient processes

Quantifiable benefitsQuantifiable benefitsIn Sri Lanka and its 11 sub-offices e-banking has led to the cutting down in payment delays from 30 – 90 days to 3 – 5 days. This has allowed for significant increase in disbursement and made the local projects more effective.Source: Extracts of upcoming Atlas Benefits Realization document
Benefits tracking process in place
Initial improvements
Decision support tool for portfolio management, allowing costs / benefits analysis
In line with Prince 2 methodology
UNDP can now efficiently and effectively exercise its role as an 'Administrative Agent' of UN Joint Programmes. Through one of such facilities (Pass-through method of Joint Programming), UNDP has been able to disburse a total of $500 million dollars of Donor funds to other UN agencies in 2004.

UNDP has also been able to improve its role as a service provider to other UN agencies, in disbursing an amount of $449 milion in those locations where UN agencies do not have such disbursing capacity; making use of all benefits of Atlas including EFT payments, etc, while ensuring that the amount disbursed does not exceed funds transfered to UNDP in advance by the respective UN agency HQs.

Future Directions – Wave II initiativesFuture Directions – Wave II initiatives Contribution to overall corporate goals and alignment on management best practices will be further supported by the implementation of additional capabilities (Wave II programme) over the next 12 - 24 months such as:
▲ Improved Revenue management and financial policy review ▲ Donor Reporting▲ PDR enhancements▲ Results-based budgeting▲ e-Procurement, Strategic Sourcing▲ Travel management▲ Global HR management (additions of International personnel, UN Volunteers and Service Contracts, competency management)▲ Enhanced Project Management
Collaboration and sharing of information among the UNDP/UNFPA/UNOPS partnership is an ongoing priority
12
Path to future benefits realizationPath to future benefits realization
Regionalization & globalization of functions
Professionalization
Organizational structures
Incentives to declare benefits
Increased levels of regionalization of process, oversight and support will allow higher levels of benefit realization – (economies of scale).
Increase skill levels by functions Approach: competency mapping and certification plans (e.g. PRINCE2, Finance and Procurement buyer certifications etc)
Align staff against business processes – flat structureInclusion of partners (Donors, UN & Govt.)
Provide offices, regions and HQ units incentives to declare and track benefits
Systematic close downof legacy systems
Close legacy systems down and harmonize around corporate platforms
