Oracle PeopleSoft Financials Advisory and Implementation Services

The New York State Statewide Financial System (SFS) seeks to engage a firm to perform Advisory and Implementation Services related to maintenance, management and enhancement of the New York State Enterprise Financial System (System).

The Firm should have extensive knowledge of the best-practice use of PeopleSoft Financials, including within the public sector.  The Firm shall provide SFS with expert-level consultative advisory and implementation services consistent with best practice configuration, implementation and use of Oracle PeopleSoft Financials and other Oracle-related technology products, with a particular focus on public sector deployments.  The needs of our diverse stakeholder base are critical to be considered when providing these services as SFS is a highly customer-focused organization.  These services will be on an as-needed basis in variable-term engagements (e.g., for projects with durations of a few weeks up to several months) that will focus on ensuring the success of various enterprise SFS projects, improvements and business process use cases. 

Examples of future projects may include, but are not limited to: 

• On-boarding agency functions from legacy financial-related systems onto the System;
• Evaluating new Oracle PeopleSoft Financials functionality for opportunities to enhance the System; and
• Re-architecting system and business processes where needed to better support agencies’ financial and accounting operations to maximize the State’s return on investment in Oracle PeopleSoft Financials.
