Projects - Kuali Financial System (KFS): UCD Implementation

Welcome to your information center for the UC Davis implementation of KFS. Our efforts are currently focused on working with the Kuali Foundation to build the core system. Please see the UCD KFS Timeline for our planned implementation schedule.

What is KFS?
The Kuali Financial System (KFS) is a modular financial accounting system that is being developed using the Community Source development model. KFS will be a conversion of the Indiana University’s Financial Information System (FIS) to the web with enhancements identified by the development partners. DaFIS is based upon the Indiana FIS, making KFS a natural replacement for our system. More >>

Why is KFS needed?
DaFIS Transaction Processing (TP) began as an early client/server application designed for Indiana University in the early 1990’s using text-based Uniface 5. The TP client/server deployment results in adverse impact on the user’s desktop and it is unstable at times. There are functional reasons for significant changes to TP as well. The current system design is difficult to enhance in some areas, leaving substantial gaps in functionality. More >>
