As a result of the Task Force findings and recommendations, the procurement transformation initiative was launched in late 2005. Since a significant amount of spend is procured through the DOAS State Purchasing Division (SPD), much of the Initiative\u2019s efforts were focused on this area. The SPD establishes statewide contracts, which state agencies are required to use and which other state agencies, state institutions, and local governments can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SPD transformed its core organization and procurement standards and determined that Oracle\u2019s PeopleSoft Enterprise was the best technology to enable the State to employ its recently improved business process. The State wished to replace its paper-based and manually intensive process with an online and electronic solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-93fab46\" id=\"client-solution\" data-block-id=\"93fab46\"><h5 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Client Solution<\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The State issued an RFP in early 2007 and subsequently awarded a contract to CherryRoad to implement the selected Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise SRM modules. These modules included eProcurement, Strategic Sourcing, Supplier Contracts Management, eSupplier Connection, and the Supplier Portal. The State wanted to add these modules to the existing PeopleSoft Financials Instance that was already in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the State wished to integrate the system with a electronic catalog system, SciQuest. The requirements for the new solution included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Replace paper-based requisitions with an online requisitioning tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electronically route requisitions through the approval process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatically create Purchase Orders based on approved requisitions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electronically dispatch purchase orders to vendors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage Statewide Contracts in an electronic solution and allow online collaboration in the contract process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electronically process solicitations from creation through analysis to award.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable vendor self-services to access purchase orders and payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace the current vendor registration system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow agencies that were not using the state\u2019s Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise instance to easily access items on the statewide contracts to obtain the preferred pricing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatically post bids to Georgia Procurement Registry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>CherryRoad designed the following business process around the capabilities of the Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise modules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Utilize eProcurement to enter online requisitions, route for approvals using workflow, and source approved requisitions to a Purchase Order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrate Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise with SciQuest to access the online catalog and place catalog items onto the online requisition. Use integration to electronically dispatch the purchase order to the vendor thereby eliminating paper requisitions, faxes, and emails.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Utilize Supplier Contracts Management to manage the entire contract process and allow online collaboration between the agencies and SPD.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable eSupplier Connection to allow bidders and suppliers to register online in order to receive bid notifications, reply to online solicitations, monitor purchase order and payment activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Utilize Strategic Sourcing to manage the entire solicitation process from bid creation through contract award.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrate Strategic Sourcing with the Georgia Procurement Registry to post all bids online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The robust functionality of each module along with the tight integration with the Core Financial modules was the State of Georgia\u2019s primary reason for selecting the Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise product. CherryRoad\u2019s deep understanding of the Public Sector environment, along with their proven experience with the modules listed above, helped Georgia choose the company as their implementation partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-5a25c59 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"5a25c59\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-5a25c59-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-bc2fcb4\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"bc2fcb4\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-bc2fcb4-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-bc2fcb4-inner-blocks\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Client Benefit<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>CherryRoad and the State of Georgia set out to implement the above-mentioned modules and roll out the functionality to the SPD and two other agencies within 18 months. The project, which represents one of the first statewide implementations of the Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise SRM suite, was completed on time and under budget. The project went live in January 2009 and the production support period was completed in July 2009. The solution is widely considered one of the most successful technology projects within the State of Georgia. The master rollout plan was delivered in April and the remaining target agencies were brought online by mid-2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system meets the business objectives as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Paper requisitions within the pilot agencies have been replaced with electronic requisitions resulting in a reduction in ordering time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solicitations are now processed electronically within Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise allowing all data to be captured within one system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration of 3rd party solicitation software has been replaced with Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise eliminating the need for two systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bidders and Suppliers are now registered directly in Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise eliminating the need for another integrations point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vendors can now monitor their purchase orders and payment online, reducing the amount of support needed for external vendors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Statewide contracts are now managed online and within the solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outside agencies can access contract items online and easily identify the best price for an item.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button-group
