Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Budget Committee of the Board of Supervisors:
Receive an ERP Status Report and support the Office of the Auditor-Controller recommendations for additional contracted services.
SUMMARY:
The Enterprise Resource Planning project (ERP) is in the final stages of completion. The last estimate for go-live of the final phase of the project (HR/Payroll) was the end of February 2018. Due to the new Federal Tax law, the potential State Tax law changes, and other implementation challenges, the project is expected to be postponed an additional month, until the end of March 2018.
Additionally, the Auditor-Controller is requesting retroactive contract change request (CR) approval and funding for CenturyLink hardware standup services provided by CGI between July 2016 and November 2016.
The cost of the one month extension for CGI services is $121,000. The cost of the CGI services around the CenturyLink hardware standup is $409,325. The Auditor-Controller has negotiated the one month delay cost with CGI to $0.00 dollars.
The total cost of the ERP implementation is projected to be $18,398,056.
