HR OUTSOURCING
SERVICES PROJECT
OUTSOURCING VS. PRIVATIZATION
Outsourcing
Retain ownership of the functions
(focus on policy of “what” we do;
not process of “how” we do it)
PrivatizationRelinquish ownership of the functions
(getting out of the business)
WHERE ARE WE HEADED? E-solution to provide best in class suite of services for HR,
payroll, and benefits We are seeking to outsource transactions, and insource
transformations We have good people trapped in bad systems Conversion from a paper-based, multiple touch process to
a self-service, employee enabled electronic solution We expect to employ a highly innovative, entrepreneurial,
and efficient management program that challenges the status-quo and existing culture in formulating and implementing high-quality, timely, and cost-effective human resource and personnel services
WHY NOW?
The five stand-alone systems (non-integrated) are almost 20 years old Budgeting, cash management, accounting/ payroll,
personnel, and purchasing systems
Cooperative Personnel Employment Subsystem – COPES is the existing personnel system
Maintenance on existing system drives operating costs, outdated software, limitations on ability to meet our needs, unreliable, subject to breakdown, etc.
We are in a new millennium – time to change our 50 year old way of doing business
WHY NOW?
Technology investment avoidance is becoming a major reason to outsource.
Investment in state of the art should only be made in core business processes.
Supporting processes (such as personnel and payroll) can use (rent or lease) technology from companies that have core businesses in these support areas.
Industry has services available to meet our needs – we are not seeking to purchase new software or replace existing software Estimated $65 - $90 Million to replace COPES
WHY NOW?
1990’s – State commissioned a project to modernize or replace the non-integrated subsystems known as FFMIS (Florida Financial Management Information System) Decision was made to replace rather than update
1997-1999 – Pilot project to replace COPES and the payroll portion of FLAIR (Florida’s Accounting Information Resource) Pilot project progressed through scoping and planning phase,
but discontinued due to rising cost estimates and emerging technology
WHY NOW?
Mid-1999, State Legislature authorized two new initiatives and KPMG was hired to conduct a business case study on the Modernization of State Government Financial Management Business Practices Study assessed five options and recommended an Enterprise
Resource Planning solution at an estimated expense of $281 Million to integrate the five legacy systems. Other alternatives, including outsourcing, are currently also being considered.
Vendors have made the investment in the technology – we don’t need to – we are seeking to contract for services
Industry has formed successful partnerships with vendors, changed the role of their HR functions, and delivered better service to their customers, employees and managers.
