Re: Action Required from our Vendor Community – Jefferson Parish Transition to New

Financial Management System

Dear Jefferson Parish Vendor,

Jefferson Parish is pleased to announce that we are transitioning to a new Financial

Management System — an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution by Infor Public Sector—

which will replace our current financial system. The new system is scheduled to go live on July 1,

2026, and represents a significant step forward in improving efficiency, transparency, and service

across our financial and procurement operations.

As part of this transition, Jefferson Parish will soon begin a phased migration from our

legacy Financial Management System to our new ERP. During this time, certain financial and

procurement activities will be limited or temporarily paused to shift workflows and data to the new

system. Specifically, this includes the issuance of new Purchase Orders, the awarding of new

contracts, and the processing of invoices for payment. We strongly encourage vendors to plan

accordingly to minimize any disruption to your operations.

Additionally, ALL VENDORS will be REQUIRED to register in the new Infor Supplier Portal

to interact with the Parish’s Purchasing Department to ensure continued eligibility for payments

and contract opportunities with the Parish. Through the new Infor self-service Supplier Portal, our

vendors will be able to better manage their profiles, respond to solicitations, track Purchase

Orders, and upload invoices, certifications, insurance documents, and licenses.

Registering in the Infor Supplier Portal is MANDATORY. To assist our vendor community,

the Parish Purchasing Department will host two Infor Supplier Portal training sessions—details

are below and in the attached flyer.

The following are noteworthy dates to prepare you for our transition to the new Infor ERP:

• May 8th – Supplier Portal Training at East Bank Regional Library (first of two training

opportunities)

• May 15th – Supplier Portal Training at General Government Building, Gretna (final training

opportunity)

• May 22nd – Final day for issuance of new Purchase Orders

• June 5th – Final day to submit invoices for payment

• June 13th – June 30th – full stop of accounting processes

We strongly encourage all vendors to submit invoices, payment requests, and any outstanding

documentation as early as possible, no later than June 5th, to help minimize potential delays.

Please be assured that every effort is being made to complete this transition as efficiently as

possible. We expect normal accounting operations to resume in early July as our Finance team

and Infor are committed to minimizing any disruption to our valued vendor partners.

If you have any questions or require assistance during this time, please contact our

Purchasing Department at 504-364-2690 or email My.Ngo@jeffparish.gov.

We appreciate your continued partnership and cooperation during this important transition.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Lee Sheng

Jefferson Parish President
