IPERS is issuing an RFP for the purpose of hiring an experienced data services consultant to provide data quality profiling, data cleansing and data preparation services for an upcoming data conversion. These services are for the period commencing February 28, 2007 and ending June 30, 2009 in support of a data conversion project for the implementation of a new pension administration application. The Service Provider will assist IPERS through this process by conducting an initial audit of current production data to identify what, if any, data problems exist, correct any missing or invalid data found, assist in population of staging files which will be used to populate the new system and assist in resolving data issues during the conversion.
