About Project Café
Northwestern has completed a major initiative to replace its financial management system (CUFS) with a more robust, easier to use system to support the University for many years.
This initiative, Project Café, has affected the way Northwestern conducts its business in areas such as grants management, expenditure tracking, budget analysis, and purchasing.
The project went live in December 2008. It included NUFinancials (PeopleSoft Financials), Cognos Reporting, iBuyNU (online shopping tool), FAMIS (facilities management system) and a redesigned chart of accounts. A portion of the grants pre-award system (InfoEd Proposal Tracking) launched in July 2007, with an additional module (InfoEd Proposal Development) scheduled for implementation beginning in Fiscal Year '11.
