  • Initial HCM data turnaround and validation has been generally successful. We have completed 34 data conversion objects; 91% from Mock 1 are loaded with a 95% success rate on the conversion load into HCM. We will complete this process 3 more times to ensure that your data is accurate!    
  • All integration calls are running on a regular basis, and changes for the 2022/2023 Benefits plan year (Voya carrier and Allstate Leave Management) have been incorporated into integration calls 
  • We are excited to kick off SIT on Sept 12.   
  • We are actively completing the training and communication plan to ensure that employees, managers and HR colleagues are well-trained and kept up-to-date on project status.

  • The revised CX Design documents are in process of review with the Astec CX Team. The design revisions reflect the changes necessary to properly integrate CX functions (sales opportunities, service requests) with the ERP. The build will begin once the design is approved, and is planned to be complete and available for the next ERP prototype build (P3).
  • Five9: We have successfully rolled out in Franklin and Eugene and are continuing implementation at other sites. We are finishing up testing for Sterling & Man Rd. and the schedule for all remaining sites is in the project plan.  
  • Documoto: the team is currently going through admin training. After completing training, the team will begin publishing content. We are also cleaning the data for Man Rd. and Sterling and updating the supplier key data conversion process to ensure proper routing of requests. 
  • Dealer Portal: The new dealer portal will live on SharePoint and the site is in process. We are currently working on copying data from the current dealer portals to SharePoint. eVerge has been working on the design sheet for DCS based on the statement of work and will begin building, with full alignment with ERP. There are some questions about the capabilities of DCS so we are meeting with Oracle to identify gaps in needs/capabilities.  

MEET

Austin Lacombe 

Position:

SME, Quote to Cash 


Main responsibilities:

I come from the inside sales group for major equipment at Astec Jerome. I was producing quotes and proposals day in and day out. So, my main goal in Project Helix from my perspective is helping to build a quoting tool that will simplify and streamline the sales process, while also significantly raising the efficiency, especially regarding the coordination between outside and inside sales. 


What is an interesting fact about you?

I am a children's pastor along with my wife at our church! 


What do you like to do for fun?

Watching any kind of sports! Especially rooting on my Tennessee Volunteers football team in the fall! I also enjoy video gaming in the little time I have for it nowadays. 


Any news you want to share?

My wife and I are expecting our first child this December, a baby boy! 


CONGRATS, AUSTIN!
