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 Phase 1 of our Strategy initiative comes to a close, we would like to provide the court with an update of the achievements the project team has accomplished. These accomplishments will set the stage for a successful RFP process and ultimate selection of a solution to modernize the Harris County ERP architecture.
The vision of this initiative is to enable a unified, modern ERP environment that simplifies and standardizes how the County operates, empowers employees with intuitive tools and timely information, and provides a flexible foundation to support efficient, data-driven decision-making and evolving service needs.
