Human Capital Management Project
An update from the Project Sponsors
February 28, 2022

Over three years ago, the Commonwealth embarked on a bold undertaking – retiring and consolidating administrative systems into a single, streamlined platform. As of October 2021, we are pleased to report that the Cardinal Human Capital Management (HCM) application is LIVE for all users at agencies included in the first release.

With this first release came a unification of human resource, payroll, time and attendance, and health benefit functionality. Using Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, state agencies and localities will experience improved operational efficiency with modern technology.

In April 2022, Cardinal will roll out to another 69 agencies and 29 localities as part of our Release 2 (R2) deployment. The final release, Release 3 (R3), will take place in the fall of 2022 and will encompass all remaining agencies and localities.

For Release 2, many of the current tasks are geared toward agency employees who will conduct their day-to-day work in Cardinal HCM. These employees, known as “Core users” began a comprehensive training program in December 2021 through the newly launched Cardinal Learning training management system. Through a mix of web-based and instructor-led training, Core users will be educated on how to successfully complete their work when Cardinal HCM goes live.

If you do not work in administrative functional areas, you may use Cardinal HCM in an employee self-service (ESS) capacity, meaning that you can view/update information that is unique to you, such as a viewing your pay stub or W-2, updating your home address, or enrolling in/updating your health benefits. Job aids and videos demonstrating these functions will be made available closer to system go-live for ESS users.

In early March 2022, the Cardinal HCM Project team will reconvene the Change Network (representative subject matter experts from each Release 2 agency who have been actively engaged in Cardinal HCM since the beginning of the project) for a final checkpoint before the Release 2 go-live. This meeting will detail final activities, what to expect during system deployment, as well as outline all the resources available to agencies and localities after go-live.

On behalf of the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) and the Department of Accounts (DOA), we would like to extend our many thanks to the state agencies and localities for your countless hours of effort and dedication to bring this vision to life. With your continued participation and support, we will implement a comprehensive administrative system that benefits the Commonwealth for years to come.
