This planned initiative will create a dedicated ERP Transformation Office, supported by a blend of project-specific resources and staff augmentation. These resources will contribute to the initiatives outlined in the HITS ERP Transformation Roadmap over the next 3 to 5 years. This approach will support Finance, Human Resources, and HITS departments in maintaining daily operations while leading business process and technical changes required for ERP transformation. Funding will be used for professional service resources assigned full-time to support both the technical and business functions throughout the project. HITS will leverage cooperative contract(s) as well as existing contract(s) for the purchase of professional services.
Fiscal Note:
No significant Fiscal Operating impact is anticipated because of these projects.
