5 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) – A comprehensive suite of integrated modules delivered by a single software vendor that provides end-to-end support for statewide administrative services For purposes of this study, we will use the term ‘Financial Management System’ (FMS) rather than ERP since the scope of the project includes financials and procurement only – due to current / future investment in the SHARP system FMS is a proposed solution that provides functionality similar to STARS, SOKI, Central Setoff System, and other agency administrative systems, but in a fully integrated manner Project Overview What is ERP? FMS?
6
6 Project Overview Why FMS? Satisfy the needs of the agencies Eliminate the proliferation of stand-alone agency systems Avoid the cost associated with new agency administrative systems Avoid the cost associated with maintenance/upgrades of current systems Significantly improve the quality, quantity, and timeliness of information Effective decision-making Efficient and accurate research capabilities Enhanced ad hoc reporting and inquiry functionality Streamline processing and control of electronic “documents” through workflow management Facilitates document routing, review and approval
7
7 Project Overview Why FMS? Streamline and simplify State’s business processes Financial Budgeting Procurement Other administrative operations Improve operational efficiency Commercially-available FMS systems include many features representing best management practices Support Web-enabled self-service State employees Vendors conducting business with the State
8
8 Project Overview Why FMS? Replace existing disparate systems Costly to maintain Difficult to administer Automate and integrate State’s financial accounting, procurement, asset management, and other administrative business processes within a single database Provide single point of entry Eliminate duplicate points of data entry Eliminate duplicate databases Simplify reconciliation Reduce/eliminate paper documents Reduce paper and handling costs (e.g., vouchers) Simplify record retention and audit compliance

20 Business Case Analysis What Are Value Pockets © ? Value Pockets Most likely sources of significant value (i.e., cost savings and other benefits ) to be found in each process/functional area within the scope of an FMS implementation Provide quantified justification STA’s proprietary formulas and calculations Used to quantify process-improvement benefits obtained through the implementation of a statewide FMS
21
21 Business Case Analysis Value Pocket © Categories Dollar-Quantifiable System Benefits/Cost Savings (Tangible Items) Improved Process Outcomes/Results, for example: –Decreased cost of goods and services –Decreased inventory carrying costs Reduced Cost of Executing the Process. For example, reassign/reduce headcount (FTEs) by: –Reducing the number of FTEs required to enter data into systems: Avoid entering the same data/transactions into multiple systems Avoid entering data on a form that is then entered into a system (instead of entering into system directly) –Reducing the number of FTEs require to generate needed information by no longer being required to obtain and consolidate data from multiple sources (also results in faster and better decision making) –Reducing the number of FTEs required to reconcile data among multiple systems –Reducing the number of FTEs required to track transactions spread over multiple systems (e.g., avoid keeping tracking data in spreadsheets, using paper logs, etc.) Non-Dollar-Quantifiable System Benefits/Cost Savings (Intangible Items) Reduced Cycle Times In Support of Strategic Initiative(s) Increased Accuracy Improved Usefulness of Information
