Request for discussion and possible action regarding the ERP Transformation Strategy and representative ERP Modernization Roadmap.
end
Background and Discussion:
Harris County is initiating an ERP transformation to address challenges associated with its aging PeopleSoft
environment and to establish a modern, future-ready ERP foundation.
Harris County aims to modernize ERP capabilities, standardize and integrate business processes, establish a
clearly defined ERP strategy, improve transparency, and enable a compliant, defensible vendor selection process that supports successful outcomes.
As a result of the initial strategic activities completed, an overall ERP Transformation Vision and Strategic Drivers have been developed to provide direction for the process of soliciting, selecting, and implementing a new modern and transformational ERP solution for the County.
Additionally, the team has put together a representative ERP Modernization Roadmap that provides initial insights and structure to the remaining scope of this engagement; the completion of the RFP process. This includes the drafting of the solicitation through final selection of the new solution and the Solution Implementation partner.
This roadmap also includes the estimated timeline for implementation; however, this portion of the roadmap can only be fully fleshed out and defined in detail once the selection of the solution has been made and the Solution Implementation partner, together with County leadership, have built the detailed implementation project plan.
