The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Fiscal Services Office has updated the internal financial operations to the Kuali Cloud (eKFS<\/abbr>) in October to streamline processes and improve how employees use the system.<\/p>\n

eKFS is an upgrade of the former on-premises Kuali Financial System managed by the Fiscal Services Office, which records and manages all of the financial transactions and fiscal activity for all of the 糖心视频<\/abbr> campuses. Other 糖心视频<\/abbr> systems (Banner Student, PeopleSoft Human Resources, eTravel, RC糖心视频 FIS<\/abbr>, etc.) also interface with eKFS<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

“Moving to eKFS<\/abbr> gives our employees greater ability to securely access the financial tools they need, wherever they work,” said Vice President for Budget and Finance\/Chief Financial Officer Luis Salaveria. “With technology improving and advancing quickly, we are making everyday financial processes easier and supporting our employees across the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

The new cloud-based eKFS<\/abbr> system allows users to log in securely without a VPN<\/abbr> or designated workstation, which allows more flexibility for remote work. A cloud system also means updates can be made available more efficiently to all users. The new eKFS<\/abbr> is designed to improve workflow featuring a modern user layout with simplified navigation and improved search capabilities.<\/p>\n

“糖心视频<\/abbr> is a large, complex institution,” said Vice President for Information Technology Brad Christ. “We want to ensure eKFS<\/abbr> meets the needs of our 糖心视频<\/abbr> employees who support university operations across all campuses and facilities.”<\/p>\n

The process to transition to eKFS<\/abbr> began in late 2025 with multiple units testing and troubleshooting the system before releasing it to the 10 campuses. For administrative staff using the new system, there will be Q<\/abbr>&A<\/abbr> sessions, October 12–16, with morning and afternoon options. Session links are below, including the passcode for access.<\/p>\n
