In 2018, University of California Press deployed Intuit Quickbooks Enterprise as its ERP Financial application, replacing Microsoft Dynamics GP. The implementation centralized core finance functions for the press accounting group, covering vendor account setup, invoice processing, customer invoicing for advertising revenue, cash application and travel reimbursement workflows. The deployment targeted operational control across accounts payable, accounts receivable and general ledger processes.
Intuit Quickbooks Enterprise was configured to support accounts payable workflows, accounts receivable management, general ledger postings, revenue and cost transfer journal entries, and monthly balance sheet reconciliations. Functional tasks implemented included maintaining customer accounts, generating invoices, matching and applying payments, monitoring A/R aging, preparing and posting revenue and adjusting journal entries, and executing cost transfers to appropriate expense accounts. The system also handled high volume travel and entertainment reimbursements under UCLA policy and pre authorized business travel booking.
The Quickbooks deployment integrated with UCLA Bruinbuy Purchasing system for vendor invoice flows and with the UCLA General Ledger system for posting and reporting, while financial data was exported to QDB Cognos Report Studio and Excel pivot tables for variance analysis. Cash processing was coordinated with the UCLA CashNet system to code and apply payments and prepare deposits, and T&E transactions were routed through the UCLA T&E Express system. Operational coverage extended across finance, revenue accounting for journals, travel administration, and reporting to academic societies.
Governance and process controls emphasized monthly balance sheet account reconciliation, quarterly and annual income statements tailored to contracted terms for individual journals, tracking payment schedules and resolving payment exceptions, and strict adherence to UCLA travel and expense policy. The implementation centralized routine journal entry preparation and reconciliations, embedding these workflows into Intuit Quickbooks Enterprise and supporting downstream reporting.

| DocuSign | Legacy | DocuSign eSignature | Digital Signing | Content Management | n/a | 2022 | 2022 |
In 2022, University of California Press deployed DocuSign eSignature as its Digital Signing solution on its public website. The implementation embeds DocuSign eSignature into website flows to capture legally binding signatures for forms and agreements initiated on ucpress.edu.
The implementation uses embedded signing and a centralized template library to standardize author agreements and routine document workflows, employing configurable recipient routing and signature sequencing consistent with Digital Signing platforms. Authentication is applied at the signing session level, and each completed transaction produces a tamper evident audit trail and completion certificate issued by DocuSign eSignature.
Operational coverage focuses on web initiated transactions and internal administrative processes that support publishing operations, including author contracts and permissions workflows. The DocuSign eSignature configuration is managed through the vendor console, with template and policy governance used to control document variants and signer roles.
Governance and rollout were organized around standardized templates and role based administrative access, with audit trail retention aligned to institutional record keeping. Integrations are implemented as website embedding and API driven session initiation, keeping the deployment focused on web based digital signing use cases.
