- Description
- This is a request for information (RFI). It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. Responses to this notice shall not be construed as offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government will not pay for any information or administrative cost incurred in response to this RFI. The U.S. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) is a wholly-owned government corporation and an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The SLSDC has identified a need for a single application to integrate its various business functions. We are currently seeking sources that can both sell and service the application we are researching which is the SAP Business One application. Our goal is to migrate all parts of our current system into one integrated, automated system since our current system is not integrated and many parts of it are manual. While we understand that some of our manual processes will have to be re-engineered to adapt to the new system we would also like the new system to be able to be customized to meet our business needs, user-defined fields, forms, and process flows. The modules / functions needed are: • Financial Management • Budgeting • Contracting and Procurement • Warehouse and Inventory (including bar coding) • Banking (including check register) • Reporting (including many customized reports) • No payroll or Human Resource functions are needed. The current system being used is FoxPro for DOS where each of the following systems are broken down into several modules which are not all integrated with each other: • Accounts Payable • Accounts Receivable • Inventory (no current bar coding) • General Ledger • Minority Banks (to track Certificates of Deposits purchased) • Check Register • Telephone Ledger • Contracts and Purchasing The system is comprised of approximately 90 programs. Core database files are accessed through a Query System. The payroll is processed through the Department of the Interior's FPPS system. Internal programs and procedures process the payroll and benefits cost files to prepare them for upload into our current system. Cost accounting codes are an integral part of our financial management and are referred to as Work Authorization Numbers (WA#s). Each transaction has a WA# associated with it for tracking and reporting purposes. It is critical that the new system be able to perform a verification on the WA# and not allow a user to enter a WA# that is not official in the system. These accounting codes are structured similarly to a work breakdown structure and are broken into 5 segments. REQUESTED INFORMATION: 1. What approach would you propose with an implementation like ours (non integrated modules into one integrated system)? For example, what basic steps or phases would you use? 2. Are you capable of migrating data from our FoxPro for DOS legacy system to the SAP Business One application? 3. Do you have experience customizing SAP Business One to customer-specific forms and fields? 4. Have you had experience migrating an organization from mostly manual processes into the more automated processes allowed by SAP Business One? If so, are you able to assist us in our implementation plan? Please provide explanation. 5. Can you develop an automated Purchase Requisition process in SAP Business One with electronic approvals and Outlook alerts? 6. What type of server space requirements would we need in order to host SAP Business One? Also, what type of server space requirements would we need if we also wanted to attach documents to transactions in the system? 7. Do you have any experience in migrating a federal agency from FoxPro into SAP Business One? 8. Please provide any additional information or literature that would assist in this requirement. RESPONSES: Please be advised that all responses become government property. Responses can be received no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, July 6, 2010, to Gretchen Jahnke by email at Gretchen.Jahnke@dot.gov or by fax at (315)764-3274 or by mail at PO Box 520, Massena, NY 13662.
