State of Colorado Successful Integration with ERP and Expense Management Systems
CCARDColorado Purchase Card & Travel Care with Rebate On July 1, 2014, the State of Colorado implemented a new ERP system for all State agencies Previous system (COFRS) Main frame system that was over 20 years old Used COBOL programming Green screen / Dot matrix technology Every State agency and Participating Entity had their own customized mapper file from Citibank New system (CORE) Web-based system Streamlined Commercial Card process by moving from a highly customized mapper to a standard file for all State agencies (32 agencies total) Other Participating Entities that do not fall under the purview of the State continue receiving separate files from Citi
CCARDColorado Purchase Card, Travel Card and One Card Decisions to be made regarding the integration between Citibank and CORE: Procedures to standardize processes statewide Allocate in Citibank or CORE? Choosing appropriate file(s) for necessary information Frequency of mapper files What process would have the least impact on our end users? Payment to Citibank
Business Process Reengineering: CCARDColorado Purchase Card, Travel Card and One Card All agencies would reallocate in Citi and receive info into CORE via mapper file Reallocation prior to payment to Citi vs. post payment in financial system Standardization of accounting practices Consolidation of mapper files: One consolidated file from Citi for all agencies Moved from a custom file to an industry standard file
Change in Chart of Account elements: Addition of Commodity based purchasing CCARDColorado Purchase Card, Travel Card and One Card Ability to use encumbrance liquidation functionality All participating agencies required to complete new default accounting string codes for each account Expanded to a 150 character coding string
End User Communication and Training: CCARDColorado Purchase Card, Travel Card and One Card Core group of PAs, Controllers and Procurement directors helped shape decisions for both Business Process Reengineering and Commercial Card integration Frequent communication to all stakeholders in months prior to conversion, as well as post conversion Trainings held on: o o o o Future state of new Financial system and impacts Creating default accounting codes spreadsheets Navigation and reconciliation of the payment document in the new ERP Follow up workshops to aid in trouble shooting
