MANDATORY VENDOR CONFERENCE: Thursday, January 7, 2010
The State is currently supporting disparate legacy business systems hosted on a
variety of platforms and architectures as described in Exhibit B - Enterprise Systems
Matrix and Exhibit C - Current System Architecture. The States core administrative
systems are at the trailing edge of their life cycle. While the State has effectively
supported and enhanced these systems, the underlying technology has become
increasingly difficult and costly to enhance and maintain. Technical support staff that
have the requisite skill sets are difficult and expensive to find and hire. Interfaces
between the current financial, human resources, payroll administration systems, and
other systems are also increasingly more difficult to modify and maintain.
