The City of St. Petersburg is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide functionality to replace its current Oracle E-Business Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system that are either fully On-Premises, fully SaaS Cloud-based, or a hybrid of the two. Vendors are to participate in its implementation of a replacement software for Oracle E-Business Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.

As the City balances its needs for full integration versus best-of-breed functionality, it is soliciting proposals for the following:

Oracle E-Business Suite: Turnkey, fully integrated, modular functionality for:

• Finance,

• Procurement,

• Budgeting and Planning,

• Human Capital

The City is looking for the Integrator/Vendor to provide an integrated solution by either offering all modules themselves or facilitating the integration of modules they do not offer. The City recognizes that this project will have a significant impact on the City staff and is looking to minimize that impact insofar as possible. To the extent the Vendor is able, the City is looking for the Vendor to conduct a thorough business analysis at the start of each module and to provide the City with a pre-configured system using its best practices and experience as a model. The City is expecting to review and test this pre-configured system, requesting minimal changes as required. Overall services associated with the implementation of all proposals must include: project management, system design, hardware, interface development, systems integration, data migration, testing, implementation, training and maintenance. The City is looking for the Vendor to provide a project manager for the duration of the project and expects the project manager to be onsite at least quarterly for a two-day onsite project review with the City; onsite visits should include kickoff and go-live for each module.

The City’s Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) applications run on a locally hosted Solaris platform maintained centrally by the Department of Technology Services (DoTS).   Our Oracle EBS environment has been running with the city since 2003 and has been maintained by installing the most current releases.  Oracle EBS is nearing its end of life and will need to be replaced within the next few years.
