1.2 About City of Raleigh
The CoR, the Capital City of North Carolina, remains one of the fastest growing areas in
the country. A great economy, top educational institutions, and exceptional health care
facilities are some of the characteristics that attract people to the triangle area. The mild
climate, diverse work force and proximity to Research Triangle Park combine to make
Raleigh a great place to live.
Raleigh is a 21st Century City of Innovation focusing on environmental, cultural, and
economic sustainability. The City conserves and protects our environmental resources
through best practice and cutting-edge conservation and stewardship, land use,
infrastructure and building technologies. The City welcomes growth and diversity through
policies and programs that will protect and enhance Raleigh’s existing neighborhoods,
natural amenities, history, and cultural and human resources for future generations. The
City leads to improve quality of life for neighborhoods and standard of living for all citizens.
The City works with universities, colleges, citizens, and local partners to promote new
2
technology, create new job opportunities, and encourage local businesses and
entrepreneurs. The City enlists and prepares 21st Century staff with the skill sets to carry
out the duties of the City through transparent civic engagement and by providing the very
best customer service to our citizens.
The objective of this solicitation is to establish a contract that enables the CoR to engage
with a qualified vendor for the replacement of the current Oracle PeopleSoft ERP system.
This system is essential for supporting all mission-critical business capabilities in Finance,
Budget and Planning and, and HCM areas. Vendors are required to address all application
functionalities and services detailed in this document and associated attachments,
ensuring a robust, secure, flexible, and user-friendly platform tailored to the needs of city
staff, vendors, contractors, client users, and government officials throughout Raleigh. The
vendor must provide a modernized ERP solution that enhances CoR’s mission-critical
business.
The CoR intends to make vendor selections based on proposals for a qualified ERP
software platform with demonstrated success supporting local governments similar in size
and scope to Raleigh. Once the CoR selects a software vendor, a separate selection
process will be initiated for a System Integrator (SI) to provide implementation services.
Value-added services that can be provided by the software vendor will be considered as
supplementary to the services of an SI.
1.3 Current Business and Operational Environment
The CoR is currently utilizing Oracle’s PeopleSoft HCM and Financial Supply Chain
Management system as its primary ERP solution. Since the CoR implemented
PeopleSoft in 2007, the system has been heavily configured to meet the evolving needs
of the workforce and key stakeholders. The ERP system interfaces with multiple
systems/applications (i.e., CityWorks, iNovah, Tyler Technology EP&L, UKG Ready) to
enable the end-to-end delivery of business processes. The current platform is on legacy
technology, which is approaching end of life (EOL). To mitigate technical debt and
technical obsolescence, CoR is looking to implement a new, modern cloud ERP solution
to mitigate these risks, standardize business processes, and further improve business
operations.
The CoR ERP Integrations diagram below illustrates the current integrations landscape.
See table below for a complete list of all applications in the environment. The CoR and
its technologies are continually evolving. In addition to the applications listed in the
attachment, the Vendor is encouraged to proactively identify and suggest additional
functionalities or modules within their solution that may benefit the CoR. CoR prefers
that some capabilities be consolidated into the ERP software suite, with others
continuing as integrations.
