Background and Discussion:
This project will result in the building and establishment of the ERP Governance structure and framework, Center of Excellence, and sourcing strategy that will result in a Business Capability Model (BCM) of Harris County Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) and Human Capital Management (HCM) capabilities. It also includes developing an ERP Transformation roadmap, vision, and structure through staff resources, identifying initiatives, constraints, and dependencies.
Expected Impact:
The contract will include establishing a governance structure and framework. Conduct workshops to determine the current technology, data landscape, enabling technologies, resources, and costs. Conduct fifteen (15) workshops to document the business context by process area for Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) and Human Capital Management (HCM) modules, including Core Accounting, Grants and Projects, Budgeting, Procurement and Contracts, Strategic Sourcing, Human Resources, Talent Management, and Payroll.
Through workshops and interviews, the project will establish the governance structure and refine the Business Capability Model (BCM), identify opportunities and define specific business requirements, mapping them to appropriate applications or solution types, document the business processes across each area to uncover gaps, improvement opportunities, unique capabilities, and the potential benefits of implementing changes.
Alternative Options:
Proceeding without this ERP Roadmap Consulting Services increases the risk for the implementation fragmentation, poor decision-making and may fail to integrate properly with existing processes, causing operational inefficiencies.
