The project goals are to replace the current homegrown Post Award GMS Solution, Excel, and other the various manual processes into one (1) solution. OCTA is looking for a Software as a service (SAAS) model that allows the Grants Administration Team (Team) to report and track financial transactions within the application. The Team is also looking for a system that can integrate with various external applications, such as OCTA’s HR and Payroll system, Finance Enterprise (AR and AP) and Data Warehouse. OCTA’s Team will also be looking for a solution that allows flexibility to track finance transactions for revenue agreements, AP transactions, contract(s) and additional programs such as College Pass Program (CPP). Additionally, OCTA is in the process of transitioning its HR system from Lawson to Workday, with implementation scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025. The selected Consultant shall adjust the implementation timeline for the new GMS solution to accommodate integrations with other applications, such as OCTA’s HR/Payroll system. Additionally, the selected Consultant may propose an alternative schedule or a phased approach that aligns with the HR/Payroll implementation, reducing the risk of managing two (2) HR/Payroll integrations.
