When do we start integration and interface analysis with other COTS systems (ABC, Project Management, etc.)?
The 21st Century Project team is working to identify all necessary interfaces and integration points with existing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems. Known interfaces were built into the RFP as a requirement. The project team will continue to communicate with departments to discuss integration and interface issues throughout system configuration. We recognize that not all current department systems can be replaced with the new HRMS/Payroll system. However, to the degree that they can, we hope that departments will choose to stop supporting duplicate systems to avoid the cost associated with these systems. The Administration’s intent is to implement an enterprise-wide solution to meet the State’s HRMS/Payroll needs and avoid department-specific applications wherever possible.
