9. 9 A&R/DISC SHARP modifications complete full integration between SHARP and SMART to be tested in Cycle 7 System Testing late Feb SHARP II Cycles 1and 2 testing complete; Cycles 3 - 5 in progress Testing Time and Labor (on-line time reporting and employee self- service in SHARP) Division of Budget working with IBARS vendor to develop modifications for IBARS and interfaces; will load 2011 appropriation budgets into SMART from IBARS when appropriation budgets are finalized in May Project Status & Activities – Central Systems

10. 10 Continue holding monthly forums to address issues and communicate with agencies for interfaces and conversions Continue to review project plans to assess agencies’ progress and communicate identification of problems Executing agency reporting strategy Enrolling agencies in the Shared Service Center Developing knowledge transfer plan for central agencies Identifying transition organization Project Status & Activities – Miscellaneous

11. 11 Fifth (and final) IV&V project review by Sys Test Labs – Denver One week prep, one week on-site, one week to draft report Interviewed 20 project and 14 agency personnel (KDOT, SRS, KDOR, KHPA) Reviewed 53 documents (deliverables, cutover plan, project plan, status reports, requirements matrix, test scripts, risk log, issue log, etc.) Overall project health rated as “very good” Several recommendations provided: Monitor Finance Team workload and provide support wherever needed Evaluate resource requirements to maintain the data warehouse Develop and implement SOPs for maintaining SMART and service level agreements IV&V Review, Findings and Recommendations

12. 12 Set-off integration with SMART (T&M) came in 596 hours ($116K) below budget Cancelled two reports for a savings of $12K Cancelled CR for a copy of the test environment – Finance Team determined it was not necessary for a savings of $52K Estimated cost for training sandbox environment decreased from $50K to $25K Change Control Highlights

13. 13 Cash control for shared funds; two-step approach (manual for go-live then automated for post go-live) –CR-141 – Cash Control Part I 90 Accenture hours for the manual process – $17.5K –CR- 150 – Cash Control Part II cost for automated solution for post go-live is being developed – $60K Modify P-card processing –UMB uses a “control account” to insure proper posting of payments in their system. –Each card is associated to a control account at UMB. –Delivered functionality does not capture control accounts associated to individual cards and thus cannot manage payments by control account. –This change would establish a field on the Cardholder Profile page that could be used to capture control accounts associated to cards. –The control account would then be applied to vouchers for payments to UMB. –The control account would be limited to view by BU to insure only correct control accounts are chosen by an agency. –Estimated cost $44K Change Control Highlights

14. 14 Change orders approved since last Steering Committee meeting Change Control

15. 15 Change Control – Remaining Balance Balance of hours for customizations (including all customizations discussed today) Total Accenture hrs used = 18,229 (17,249 December) Total available contract hrs = 19,130 % Used = 95% (90% last month) % Remaining = 5% (901 hours)

Agencies that do not pass Stage 6 will not be permitted to interface into SMART

27. 27 Agencies that do not pass Stage 6 will not be permitted to interface transactions into SMART Agencies will have to output transactions from their source system(s) and either: 1.manually key into SMART 2.use the spreadsheet upload After go-live agencies will work with DISC to interface into SMART Consequences of Not Meeting Stage 6 Deadline

28. 28 Status of Data Warehouse and Data Validation SHaRP data warehouse is progressing on-schedule Unit testing by the Tech Team is complete Functional testing of SHaRP data will start this month (DPS, A&R, DISC) Agency folders and security for SHaRP and SMART DWs are being built

29. 29 Reporting Strategy & Approach Steps – Task ID 265 The Reporting Strategy and Approach is moving forward Step 1 – Agencies identified critical reports, Task ID 265 distributed Step 2 – Agencies compared agency reports to the SMART report list and prioritize potential reporting gaps Step 3 –Sunflower Project Team is reviewing critical and high-priority potential reporting gaps and determining how to resolve gaps – in progress The Sunflower Project Team has begun contacting agencies to resolve reporting gaps (SRS, DOL)

30. 30 SMART Help Desk Contacts Agencies were asked to designate Help Desk Contacts and Liaisons (Task ID 270) to serve as the central point of contact between their agency end users and the SMART Help Desk Designating Help Desk Contacts allows agencies to centralize questions and issues their agency end-users are experiencing with SMART as the first step in helping the end-user SMART Help Desk Contacts in your agency will build system expertise and have an overall view of the incidents your agency is experiencing

31. 31 What is a Help Desk Contact? Serve as the agency’s centralized point(s) of contact for end- users who have questions or issues Attempt to resolve questions and issues at the agency level using resources available (SMART Help Desk Web-based tool, SMART Web-site, SMART on-line training, other agency supplied resources) Have access to the SMART Help Desk Web-based Tool (ServiceDesk) to: –Research previous solutions and related items –Log incidents with the SMART help desk (or the SMART help desk phone number in emergencies) –Track incidents

32. 32 Service Center The Service Center will be available to small agencies for a period of transition for small agencies unable to attend training before July 1 st Reminders… –Service Center is not an all or nothing approach, agencies can key some transactions online while using Service Center for less frequent transactions –Service Center provides data entry and oversight; the agency is still in control of their own business activities Individual meetings are occurring with agencies identified as Service Center participants through February and March

33. 33 Service Center (continued) All Service Center participant meetings are in the planning stages for Mid-April and the End of May April meeting will be high level overview of how the Service Center will work for agencies –The meeting in May will outline more specifically how the Service Center will work including forms and procedures. It’s not too late! Contact Pam Fink, Service Center Manager at 785.296.7703 or via e-mail pam.fink@da.ks.gov if have any questions or if you haven’t signed up for Service Center!pam.fink@da.ks.gov
