Scope of Services
Our Client, Office of Information Technology (OIT) – Application Services is in search of an Advanced Quality Assurance Analyst in assisting the Office of Information Technology with infrastructure support for remediations required for CLIENT systems which interface with state-wide accounting data.
Background: As a result of the Department’s efforts to re-engineer and modernize core financial systems, there has been over 1,500 computing assets identified as performing some level of financial planning, analysis, and management functionality that are impacted by the State of Florida’s accounting system. The Florida Planning, Accounting, and Ledger Management (PALM) project is a multiyear endeavor to replace the State of Florida’s accounting and cash management systems with a modern financial management solution. The Florida PALM Project is targeted to replace Central, Payroll, and Departmental FLAIR functionality, with go-live scheduled for January 6, 2026.
The 1,500+ computing assets are comprised of interfaces, enterprise applications, databases, automated processes, and reporting programs within CLIENT that will require remediation due to:
· Adoption of the Florida PALM Standardized Business Process Model
· Transition to the Florida PALM Chart of Accounts values
· Replacement of Central, Payroll and Departmental FLAIR functionality
· Redevelopment of agency incoming and outgoing interfaces to the statewide accounting system
· Implementation of Information Warehouse data to support agency specific reporting requirements.
The computing asset modifications to complete the CLIENT PALM System Transition (FPST) will take place over the course of three years in alignment with the Florida PALM Project scheduled timeline.
Of the 1,500+ computing assets, over 120 are interfaces either between CLIENT financial applications or with the state accounting system. These interfaces were written on outdated technology that simply will not work with the new, more modern state accounting system.
