Background
The current State of Florida Accounting Information Resource (FLAIR) system is based on software developed in the 1970s and was implemented as the core of the state's financial system in 1981. The State has now embarked on a multiyear endeavor to replace FLAIR with a cloud-based modern financial management solution (FMS) called the Florida Planning Accounting and Ledger Management (PALM) Project.
Florida PALM operates on Oracle PeopleSoft 9.2, leverages a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), is hosted by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and is connected via MyFloridaNet-2.
To align Client s implementation approach to the Florida PALM project, comprehensive project management, functional transition planning, and remediation of impacted people, processes, and technology will be required. Multiple agency business systems have been identified as containing FLAIR data elements. They will need to be assessed and analyzed to determine if they will require modifications, if they are to be retired, or if they will be unimpacted. We currently have numerous business systems that exchange data with FLAIR. Many of these systems will be required to interact with Florida PALM and continue to provide data files on a daily, weekly, and/or monthly basis. Some of these systems are sizeable and will require considerable effort to prepare each of them to accurately communicate with the new Florida PALM system. Additionally, any process or work flow that relates to financial data within the Business Support Program sections must be evaluated and revised in order to perform daily functions in PALM as well as produce required reporting. Training will also need to be developed and implemented prior to go-live.
The transformation of these critical functional agency business systems and related activities will involve close collaboration between the Client and the Florida PALM Project team.
Client requires the services of a full-time Program Manager to plan and direct the work detailed above.
