Project Teams
Leading the Way
We know that implementing and adopting Stony Brook's new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system will require a commitment of time and resources from many teams across the University. We are thrilled and proud to be working across Stony Brook University, Stony Brook University Hospital, The Research Foundation, SUNY, and SUNY RF with key leaders that have a deep understanding and knoweldge of our University enterprise and Hospital system. The teams below will be working collaboratively with our campus community to guide this project from kickoff to completion, ensuring success along the way.
The efforts we undertake now will position Stony Brook for continued growth and a successful road ahead. We look forward to the journey, and thank you for your engagement, your time and your commitment to Stony Brook and this initiative.

Members will work to secure resources, remove obstacles, address change readiness gaps, approve project deliverables, review process changes and serve as champions for the project.
