I. INTRODUCTION

A. Overview

Proposals are requested by the Erie County Division of Information and Support Services

(DISS) for SAP technical consulting services for the migration to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. The

project will include the implementation of SAP Success Factors and Workforce Forecasting and

Scheduling. The County is running SAP ECC 6.0 EHP8, and currently in the process of upgrading to New

GL and New Asset Accounting. The primary functions and use of this software include Financial

Accounting, Funds Management, Controlling, Human Resources, Materials Management, and Plant

Maintenance.

The County operates within a complex public-sector environment that includes civil service rules,

multiple bargaining units, and statutory payroll and retirement reporting requirements. The County has

several interfaces with external banking institutions, outside partners (e.g., health benefits, deferred

compensation plan), and New York State for payroll and retirement. There are custom Z programs that

handle data transmissions, as well as daily functions. Additionally, the County has software interfaces

with Hyland Onbase and Aurigo Masterworks software.

It is the County's intent to select the Proposer (Contractor) that provides the best solution for the County's

needs.

The County reserves the right to amend this RFP. The County reserves the right to reject any or all of the

proposals, or any part thereof, submitted in response to this RFP, and reserves the right to waive

formalities, if such action is deemed to be in the best interest of the County. The County reserves the right

to request additional information from any proposer. The County reserves the right to award negotiated

contracts to one or more proposers.

This RFP is not intended and shall not be construed to commit the County to pay any costs incurred in

connection with any proposal or to procure or contract with any firm.

The County will only contract with firms that do not discriminate against employees or applicants for

employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual

orientation, citizenship status or any other status protected by New York State and Federal laws.
