Project Update  

Administrative Systems Review Project
Update - September 15, 2003

The first major project milestone has been reached.  The RFP for the selection of administrative software systems was released on September 9, 2003, completing Phase I of the project.

The updated timeline included in the RFP is as follows:

     RFP released - September 9
     Vendor responses due to BGSU - October 3, 2003
     Vendor demonstrations - October 20 through 31
     Vendor selection and contract negotiations - Late Fall 2003

The RFP reflects an accumulation of the collective needs of BGSU.  Those participating in Decision Director forums and the Validation teams were an integral part of the process.  To give you a sense of what has been accomplished, here are a few facts:

Functional and Technical Requirements of the RFP included:

     1,612 requirements in the Finance Module
        951 requirements in the Human Resources Module
     3,113 requirements in the Student Information System Module
        548 requirements in the General Technical Module
        166 requirements in the Document Imaging Module
     6,390 Total Requirements included in the RFP

In addition to these requirements, BGSU requested potential vendors to respond to many of the questions regarding their company and their data warehouse solution.

Also, the Validation teams developed more than 145 business scripts.  These scripts describe key or unique processes of BGSU and will be used during vendor demonstrations to evaluate key functionality included in the software.  The processes represented by these scripts include:

  • General ledger (Financial Reporting)
  • Procurement
  • Accounts Payable
  • Budget Preparation
  • Assets
  • Cash Management
  • Grants and Contracts
  • Human Resources
  • Position Management

  • Student Financials
  • Financial Aid
