The Team

At UC San Diego, we question conventions of the status quo. Our tradition is one of nontradition and ESR is no different.

The Enterprise Systems Renewal program leverages the talent and experience of staff, partners and departments across campus to update software applications and review business processes in key service areas, including Finance, Human Resources, Research Administration and Student Information.

The ESR Team includes an oversight committee, program leadership and project teams. Projects are organized below into key service areas. Click on a service area for more information and links to the core project team contact information.
