4 1 INTRODUCTION This Project Charter summarizes the business and management aspects of the Human Resource Management System (HRMS) Replacement project. When signed by the sponsor(s), this charter serves as an agreement between the business and the project groups, formally authorizes the existence of the project, and gives authorization for the Project Manager to engage resources in the planning and execution of the project activities, based on the conditions established. 2 PROJECT PURPOSE (WHY) In 2009, Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) undertook a review of its existing HRMS application, referred to as HR Director. The results of that review determined the system did not meet the current or anticipated future human resource needs of the organization. The limited capabilities of the existing system, especially related to human resource and time and expense management, and talent management including recruitmet and selection, requires a large number of business and operational processes to be completed manually. In addition, the system provides limited opportunities for integration to other support systems, including but not limited to Payroll and Training and Development, necessitating the manual entry of the same data into multiple systems. This results in increased cost, lower productivity and discrepancies in data across systems. The overall purpose of this project is to replace the existing HRMS application with a solution that will provide Manitoba Public Insurance with a fully integrated and automated solution which supports and enables: Achievement of the corporation s business strategies Key Human Resource and Finance activities including, but not limited to: Talent Aquisition (including Workforce Planning) Personnel Management (including Employee transaction mgmt, Position mgmt, Labour Relations support, Organizational Charts and employee contact database) Compensation & Benefits administration Job Evaluation Payroll Time & Expense and Absence reporting Performance Management (including Training Development and Succession management) System interfaces with key vendors such as Civil Service Superannuation Board (CSSB) and Manitoba Blue Cross Employee and Manager self-service Solution to be best-in-class, delivering a full suite of functions and capabilities to meet the current and future needs of the corporation.

An integrated HRMS solution will allow the Corporation to continue to transform how HR services are delivered to employees by standardizing human resources processes and eliminating time-consuming manual processes. As well, employees will be given access to view and maintain their own human resource information and managers will be given access to key data about their direct reports. With this advanced automation and self-service functionality, administration will be minimized so employees can focus on delivering outstanding customer service. EPMO Template Updated: March,

9 5 PROJECT STRATEGY (HOW) Project Management This project will be a joint effort between Lawson Professional Services and Manitoba Public Insurance. A Lawson Project Manager will work directly with Manitoba Public Insurance s Project Manager to plan, execute, and monitor the project. Throughout the delivery of the product(s) or service(s) described in this Charter, the Manitoba Public Insurance Project Manager will use the Manitoba Public Insurance Enterprise Project Management Methodology and EPMO Toolkit to provide the framework for managing the project. Implementation Methodology A hybrid methodology consisting of Lawson s StepWise Implementation Approach and Methodology and Manitoba Public Insurance s methodology will be followed/maintained throughout the life of this project. Business Vision/Requirements During the Establish phase of the project, workshops will be held to confirm Manitoba Public Insurance s business vision/business model and guiding principles for the Human Resource Management System. The project team will also be oriented and trained on Lawson applications before requirements are finalized so the team can better understand available options. Lawson consultants will engage with his or her respective business subject matter expert or process owner to confirm details required for each process area. The consultant uses a prepared set of questions (Business Process Survey) to ensure that all necessary information is obtained. This information is used to confirm the Statement of Work and validate business needs. This ensures that the project team is well prepared to build the initial beta prototype. Lawson consultants will explain only the application and validation processes relevant to MPI's specific solution, rather than every solution option available. In addition, Lawson will use information gathered during the Business Process Survey phase to create an initial beta version. MPI will validate each version before the next is built. Customizations A guiding principle of this project is to re-design existing Manitoba Public Insurance business processes and operations to align to the way the Lawson solution operates. Manitoba Public Insurance senior leadership has provided direction that the project to replace the HRMS application should be one of configuring a commercially available (COTS) solution and that Manitoba Public Insurance processes would, wherever possible, be modified to align with the new solution. Customization of the solution should be limited to those areas where the base solution cannot support specific and unique business, regulatory, and collective bargaining requirements. While no customizations have been identified to date, some customizations are typically identified. A formal change control process will be implemented to review and approve customizations both during the project and on a go-forward basis after implementation. EPMO Template Updated: March,

10 Some Lawson technical consulting hours will be included in the Lawson Statement of Work to implement approved customizations. Data Migration and Conversions Manitoba Public Insurance will be responsible extraction of data from legacy systems, transformation and cleansing/rationalization of data, then loading of cleansed data into Lawson. Lawson will provide the following guidance and support: Asssist with extraction and mapping. Provide data mapping tools. Deliver Data Migration workshops to define the data migration process and mapping required. Collaborate with Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation during workshops to define strategy, approach, tools and timing required for migration activities. Provide data mapping guidance during workshops between Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation's source and Lawson target systems. Provide guidance on data cleansing issues as necessary. Manitoba Public Insurance will be responsible for confirming and validating converted data. Interfaces Lawson is responsible for development of the interface from Time Entry. Both Lawson and Manitoba Public Insurance will share the responsibility for all other interfaces. Lawson will provide the following guidance and support: Deliver interface training on Lawson tools, including best practices for interface development via Process Automation Interface Workshop. Technical consulting hours will be included in the Lawson Statement of Work to assist Manitoba Public Insurance in development and Quality Assurance reviews of interfaces. Reports, Alerts, and Workflows Lawson and Manitoba Public Insurance will share the responsibility for development or modification of reports, process flows (workflows), and alerts. Lawson will provide knowledge transfer to MPI s Support resources on the components that Lawson is responsible for developing and will provide the following guidance and support: Deliver training on Lawson tools, including Lawson Business Intelligence (reports), and workflows. Technical consulting hours will be included in the Lawson Statement of Work to assist Manitoba Public Insurance in development and Quality Assurance reviews of the reports, alerts, and workflows that Manitoba Public Insurance will be responsible for. Training Training on Lawson applications for the project team members will be primarily delivered through a combination of class room training and workshops onsite at Manitoba Public Insurance. There is also a web-based online learning suite that is available to team members. EPMO Template Updated: March,

11 Technical training (System Administration, Security) will be delivered at Lawson training centres. A train the trainer approach will be followed for delivery of training for Manitoba Public Insurance end-users. Knowledge Management Services (KMS) typically prepares, delivers and maintains MPI training material. KMS will not be responsible for delivering the training materials. The project team may require some support which will be explored during the project. As a result, the project team will be responsible for development of training materials, and delivery of training to end users. Deliverables will be included in the project plan to: Clarify who, how and what tools should be used to develop and deliver HRMS training material Determine if and how KMS's quality standards for training format and content will be adhered to. Clarify whether KMS will ultimately inherit the HRMS training material when choosing tools, styles, etc Confirm KMS engagement and accountability 6 Implementation Roadmap 6.1 PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 Q9 Revised Implementation Roadmap Phase 1 - Lawson Upgrade Phase 2 Planning Phase 2 - HRMS Core Phase 3 - LTM Part 1 Phase 4 - LTM Part 2 Global HR, Human Resources, Personnel Admin, Payroll, Absence Reporting, Benefits Admin, Lawson Security 9.0- HRMS and Financials,Self Service Time Reporting,Self Service for Managers, Organization Charts Talent Acquisition, Compensation, Performance and Goal Management, Expense Management Job Evaluation, Project and Activity Accounting Learning and Development, Succession Planning 6.2 PHASE DURATION GUIDELINES Phase Duration in Months 1 Financial Upgrade 6 2 HRMS Core 18 3 LTM Part LTM Part 2 4 Duration based on Lawson experience.

23 Project Charter Lawson Upgrade January 17, PROJECT STRATEGY (HOW) 2013 Rate Application HRMS - Lawson Upgrade Charter - AI.18 This project will be a joint effort between Lawson Professional Services and Manitoba Public Insurance. Lawson requires certified technical consultants to install Lawson software. Lawson Project Managers, responsible for specific upgrades of the Lawson suite (Lawson environment, Lawson applications and user interface), will work directly with MPI s Project Manager to plan, execute, and monitor the project. Lawson s StepWise Implementation Approach and Methodology will be followed for the implementation of this upgrade. Throughout the delivery of the product(s) or service(s) described in this Charter, the MPI Project Manager will use the MPI Enterprise Project Management Methodology and EPMO Toolkit to provide the framework for managing the project. 6 PROJECT BUDGET A budgeted amount of $146,000 represents a rough order of magnitude estimate that was derived through the Intake Process. This estimate assumed a standard upgrade; not one that is upgrading additional technology components (Microsoft SQL Server) or the user interface (Lawson Smart Office) as is now the case. This estimate also did not include Lawson Professional Services costs. The initial estimate for Lawson Professional Services is approximately $162,000 ( ). A bottom-up estimating approach will be done during the planning stage of the project to determine actual project budget which will include the Lawson Professional Services and internal MPI Project Management and activities to support the upgrade.

26 2013 Rate Application HRMS - Lawson Upgrade Charter - AI.18 Project Charter Lawson Upgrade January 17, KNOWN PROJECT CONSTRAINTS To be determined in the planning process. 8.1 DEPENDENCIES Resources Many of the key participants (e.g. senior finance management, subject matter experts within finance departments, etc.) have peak operational periods where their time is severely limited. In particular, this will be a problem in February, March, and April of 2011 due to the year-end cycle. As well, the first 2 weeks of the month after a quarter-end will be problematic for some business acceptors/testers. The project schedule will be adjusted to accommodate these blackout periods. Availability of Lawson consultants. 8.2 ASSUMPTIONS This upgrade is not technically complex. Only one upgrade pass will be required for this upgrade. Lawson technical consultants will be onsite at MPI s premises to perform the technical upgrade; Lawson will not have remote access to MPI s environments. A separate training environment is not required; a separate product line will be created for training purposes in the Test or Production Support environment. Finance and Administrative Services subject matter experts will continue to perform testing; the Quality Control and Metrics (QC&M) department will not be involved with this upgrade.
