Broward County’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project is an enterprise-wide initiative, administered by County Administration through an ERP Project Office. An ERP system is software that replaces many stand-alone systems of individual departments and offices – such as finance, budget, purchasing, project and grants management, payroll and human resource management – and integrates the functions and the business rules into a single system that runs off a single database. Many governments and private sector organizations have turned to an ERP to help manage information and resources more effectively.
In November 2010, the County solicited combined proposals for ERP software and implementation services and optional hosting services. Proposals were received in February 2011 and subject matter teams are in the process of reviewing proposals. The County also is negotiating with the Third Party Assurance Provider that will assist with the procurement process and serve as the County’s Project Manager for the life of the multi year project. The results/status of these solicitations may be viewed at www.broward.org/purchasing.
