Project Description
A major City was seeking evaluation and assistance in the solicitation process for an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP).
Client Objectives
The objective was to review the use of the City’s current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System (PeopleSoft Financials and HRMS). From that review, develop a set of requirements, additional features, and best practices that will be used to create a Request for Proposals (RFP) to either upgrade or replace the current ERP.
Services Delivered
SDI services include but are not limited to the following:
- Review the City’s existing IT systems, resources and activities compared to the commonly available functions and features of modern ERP systems
- Interview key City staff in various departments and business functions regarding the use of the current systems and manual business processes as they relate to ERP functionality and what is commonly available to other systems
- Identify other features, concepts and possible municipal uses of common ERP functionality
- Tabulate results and provide an analysis of the information gathered
- Assist in the identification of ERP software vendors to whom a Request for Proposal (RFP) should be sent
- Gather representative costs and timelines from software vendors to replace or upgrade the current PeopleSoft ERP system
- Work with City Staff to prepare a comprehensive RFP document for distribution to prospective vendors for the purchase, installation and implementation of a replacement ERP system or an upgrade to the existing PeopleSoft system
