Effort Administratortm
Overview
Effort Administrator is an internet-based time and effort certification and reporting solution for administrators and research faculty. Designed like an on-line banking system, it works with your existing pre-award, accounting, and payroll systems to create a powerful, easy-to-use effort certification and reporting tool. Effort Administrator employs drill down technology to retrieve and update information. Faculty and research staff can then review and certify their own effort as well as the effort of their research team. Institution administrators can oversee the certification process sections such as college, department, division, or program.
A stand alone system, Effort Administrator does not require any additional software to work with your ERP solutions, but is designed to integrate seamlessly with the entire suite of IT Works software products.

Effort Administrator Implementation
Effort Administrator is flexible in its operation and its implementation. It can be built on three types of data sources for effort certification and reporting: payroll data, time sheets, and salary distributions. Depending on the needs of an institution, Effort Administrator can be configured to operate by either one or a combination of the following three methods: electronic payroll imports, a time sheet data entry system, or salary distributions. Salary distributions can be either imported from the institutions human resources system or maintained by manual data entry.
