4 Scope of Services
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 FDOT 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 FDOT PALM System Transition (FPST) will take place over the course of two years in alignment with the Florida PALM Project scheduled timeline.
To prepare for the transition to Florida PALM, our agency is seeking a resource knowledgeable in Tibco Mainframe Focus/WebFocus to lead the effort of updating our numerous Focus assets. Focus has been used copiously by the department to develop reports, interfaces, and applications for the past twenty years. It is important we find a resource capable of analyzing these programs and documenting their specifications.
