Specifications include, but are not limited to: CMAP is planning to replace its current financial management software systems environment with a new system, and to adopt systems functionality to support core processes, and to address primary challenges and improvement opportunities including: i. Reporting needs are partially being met, with staff relying on a combination of the legacy systems and supplemented by tracking in MS Excel due to compensate for system limitations. ii. CMAP would like to emphasize initial training during the software implementation and ongoing training in a future environment, as there are instances where staff have been unable to complete certain tasks in the system due to not having formal training. iii. Duplication and manual entry is causing business inefficiencies. The lack of integration between systems has resulted in staff entering information in multiple systems (including manually keying time/attendance data into both the legacy ERP system and the CMAP project management software solution) iv. Due to the pandemic and the need for telework, certain business functions, such as purchasing, had to be centralized within one position as a result of the legacy system deployment model. Staff have a strong preference toward a SaaS model in a future environment.
