Kuali People Management for the Enterprise (KPME)

Kuali People Management for the Enterprise (KPME) is an open-source, comprehensive HR/Payroll System built by higher education for higher education. Composed of both stand-alone and integrated modules, KPME includes Payroll, Time and Attendance, Leave Management, HR Core Transactions, Benefits Administration and Position Management.

KPME is being developed in modules with Time and Attendance and Leave Management being developed first.   Time and Attendance will be released in Fall 2011. It is built on Rice 1.0.3 and is integrated with other Kuali Systems.   Detailed business requirements for Leave Management are currently under development.  After completing the Time and Attendance and Leave Management modules, the focus will turn to electronic core HR transactions. This approach will enable schools to implement the Time and Attendance or Leave Management modules prior to the completion of the project.

Like other Kuali projects, KPME involves partners pooling their resources to deliver the final product.  The partners guide and oversee the priorities, outcomes, and deliverables. As in other projects, development of the modules will be more efficient with additional resources from partner schools. Additionally, participation in the design and development of each module will build institutional knowledge of KPME and will expedite implementation.

Partners working on phase one are Indiana University, Iowa State University, Colorado State University and VivanTech.
