Quick Summary / Abstract
Approve a Professional Services contract with SAP. By leveraging SAP’s Professional Consulting Services knowledge, the School District can further enhance efficiencies in the SAP HRMS and Payroll modules by evaluating existing practices and implementing a “best practices” model. SAP would provide Professional Consulting Services in the following two areas: 1) Solution Review, Payroll Consolidation Project – SBBC is currently engaged in a project consolidating seven (7) different payrolls in to two payrolls. The purpose for this review is to assist with Quality Assurance and Risk Management for this activity. This review covers the application design and business process parameters. 2) Human Resources (HR) and Payroll (PR) Enhancement Project – In November 2004, SAP assisted SBBC in an extensive review of the HRMS system to identify short-term, high-impact opportunities for improvement. As a result of the many meetings, school visits and discussions with users, SBBC feels that making changes to numerous areas of HRMS will increase efficiencies, make the HRMS system more user-friendly and improve the flow of data/information throughout the system. The modifications chosen by the SBBC HRMS steering committee will have the most impact on staff and users in the short term. Because of the criticality of the Payroll Consolidation Project being done at the same time, SBBC feels that these enhancement modifications are best done by SAP. Total Project Expenditure for FY 04/05 is $279,026. Funding sources: ETS Operating Fund $279,026. Requested Action Approve a Professional Services contract with SAP.
