Through this RFI, NJTA seeks to understand Vendor partners capable of delivering a secure, scalable, and adaptable HCMS solution, paired with an implementation approach that accounts for the organization’s operational complexity and supports long-term sustainability. The SW and SI partners would be expected to work collaboratively to deliver a seamless implementation, ensure knowledge transfer, and enable NJTA to fully leverage the system’s capabilities. The joint SI and SW effort must be able to: • Implement an AI-enabled HCM solution that meets the integrated needs of NJTA and supports all core Human Resources functions. The system must manage the full employee lifecycle, from talent acquisition through separation, including time reporting and payroll, related workforce processes, and benefits for retirees and survivors. • Promote compliance through built-in support for CBAs, federal, state, and local labor laws, and data privacy regulations, while enabling automation to administer the requirements of eight distinct CBAs, each with unique job profiles, compensation plans, and work rules. • Automate and modernize end-to-end HR, time reporting, and payroll processes by streamlining legacy workflows and adopting standardized industry best practices, with the goal of reducing manual effort and improving overall efficiency. • Empower Authority employees and managers with a modern user experience that includes intuitive, mobile-friendly, self-service tools and reporting (for specific users). • Streamline the technology architecture by identifying opportunities to integrate with third-party tools that support the organization's core business processes. • Enable data-driven decision-making through real-time integration, analytics, and reporting capabilities. Implement the selected solution(s) using best practices in project management, organizational change management, and business process transformation, in partnership with highly qualified Vendors that demonstrate proven and relevant experience
