1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
1.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY- RATIONALE FOR THE PROJECT The Retirement Information Online (RIO) System is PERA’s mission-critical retirement pension administration system. The objective of the RIO upgrade project is to refresh all servers and upgrade third party software for RIO. PERA received $2.8 million for this project to be expended in FY14.
PERA maintains a full production and test environment in the Santa Fe data center and a Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity environment in the Albuquerque data center for the RIO system. Both of these environments will be updated with refreshed hardware and upgraded third party software.
The upgraded hardware and third party software will improve the performance of the RIO pension administration system and improve customer service to retirees, members and employers. These upgrades will also improve infrastructure reliability for the RIO pension administration system.

1.6 INITIAL PROJECT RISKS IDENTIFIED
Risk 1 – Testing for new versions of third party software
The RIO integration vendor, HP, may experience problems integrating the new versions of the third party software with the Java code before the RIO server hardware’s maintenance contract expires in October 2013.
Probability 5% Impact DELAY OF THE START OF THE PROJECT
Mitigation Strategy HP needs to have backup personnel available if the need arisesContingency Plan Use HP backup personnel when necessary
Risk 2 – Acquisition of refreshed hardware and software versions
Time required to complete the state’s procurement processes could delay to the project as a whole.
Probability 50% Impact : DELAY TO THE START OF PROJECT
Mitigation Strategy
Ensure all DoIT and PERA purchasing requirements are met.

3.0 SCOPE
3.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVES3.1.1 BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
NUMBER DESCRIPTION
Bus. Objective 1
Increase RIO system performance for staff and self-service users
The refreshed hardware and third party software will ensure that the RIO is usable for at a minimum five years, until the next significant hardware upgrade will be required. The refreshed hardware will be significantly faster than the existing hardware and the refreshed hardware will increase system response time and performance for all RIO users.
Bus. Objective 2
Provide a stable and functional pension system for PERA users
By replacing outdated software, which is no longer supported, PERA will be extending the life of the overall pension system. This will be done by ensuring that all software and hardware are supported for a minimum of five years, while meeting all current industry standards.
3.1.2 TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES
NUMBER DESCRIPTION
Tech. Objective 1
Upgrade RIO system hardware and software
PERA will replace the hardware and include a warranty for five years. This will also ensure that PERA assets are upgraded and maintained for another five years. PERA will also upgrade the third party software to the latest available versions.
Tech. Objective 2
Upgrade and replace current imaging systems
PERA will be replacing and upgrading all imaging related software. Currently PERA is utilizing custom scanning and indexing applications, which no longer have support, or are at end
PAGE | 9
NUMBER DESCRIPTION
of product life. PERA will be introducing out of the box industry standard software, which is cost effective and widely supported.
3.2 PROJECT EXCLUSIONSThe RIO system architecture and functionality will not be modified or replaced in the scope of this project. The only modifications that may need to be made are minor interface changes due to updated API standards from third party software. All other changes will be considered out of scope for this project.
3.3 CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
NUMBER DESCRIPTION
QUALITY METRIC 1
IMPROVED RIO SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The new hardware will be significantly faster than the existing hardware and the new hardware will increase the response time and performance on the RIO system for the PERA staff users and self-service users. The new hardware and third party software will ensure that the RIO is usable and supported for at a minimum five years till the next significant hardware/Software upgrade will be required.
QUALITY METRIC 2
LESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Utilizing newer technology, PERA will reduce the total amount of space and power that is currently. This will result in overall cost savings for the energy consumption and cooling costs involved in running both the PERA Santa Fe Office and the PERA Albuquerque Disaster Recovery site.
QUALITY METRIC 3
UPDATING UNSUPPORTED THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
All third party software no longer supported by third party vendors will be upgraded to current version. This will ensure that PERA’s vital systems infrastructure is supported by all vendors, in the event of system or application failure. This also gives PERA the right to software patches and modifications which will ensure that all security risks are properly fixed.
QUALITY METRIC 4
UPDATING UNSUPPORTED IMAGING SOFTWARE
Upgrading unsupported legacy imaging products. This will allow PERA it to consolidate current scanning and indexing applications into widely supported and utilized industry standard software. It will also provide a solid and stable frame work for future imaging projects, as well as provide for new functionality not currently available utilizing outdated products.

4.1.3 DELIVERABLE ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE
PERA IT staff will test the RIO system within the test environment. If IT discovers any problems, HP and IT will work together to resolve the issue. Once the system is running in the test environment, PERA staff will test the application to ensure the functionality. If PERA staff encounters problems with the system, the problem will be reported to PERA IT. If the problem is with the environment PERA IT will resolve the problem internally and if need be enlist HPs assistance. If the problem that PERA staff finds is a business problem, then an incident report will be raised and HP will work on resolving the problem. PERA IT does not have access to the code so business problems need to be addressed by HP. Once the test system has received user acceptance then work will beginning in the production environment and the process is repeated for production. PERA staff will also review all documentation prior to project completion.

5.6 PROJECT LOGISTICSThe RIO system upgrade will be done at PERA on-site. PERA IT staff will work closely with HP during the infrastructure upgrades. If IT discovers any problems, HP and IT will work together to resolve the issue. Once the system is running, PERA staff within the User Administration unit will coordinate with PERA staff the testing of system components to ensure system functionality. If PERA staff encounters problems with the system, the problem will be reported to PERA IT. If the problem is with the environment, PERA IT will resolve the problem internally and if need be enlist HP’s or Softech’s project staff managers. If the problem that PERA staff finds is a business problem, then an incident report will be raised and reported to HP on-site. HP or Softech will then resolve the problem.

6.1 RISK AND ISSUE MANAGEMENT
6.1.1 RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Risks for this project could be not having the hardware/software on-site even if ordered on time. This could impact project implementation. When the hardware/software arrives at PERA, IT will ensure PERA receives what was ordered. If anything is missing from the orders IT will immediately contact the vendor and request immediate delivery of the missing products. In the event of time delays PERA IT will work with vendors to reallocate resources to the project to ensure success.
