Summary & Background: This extension will allow ISG to continue providing verification and validation services in support of the County’s upgrade of its integrated Financial, Personnel, and Purchasing applications to version 4. The County is currently operating on CGI AMS version 3.10, which is seven versions behind the most recent release, CGI Advantage 4.
Fulton County leveraged an existing North Dakota state contract to engage ISG Public Sector as an independent verification and validation partner during the CGI software upgrade. The role of ISG Public Sector will be to provide project oversight, verify delivery aligns to best practices, validate the solution meets Fulton County business needs, and lead organizational change management to prepare Fulton County employees for the adoption of the software upgrade.
ISG Public Sector verification and validation services include:
- Verification and Validation of the required cloud infrastructure to support the ERP requirements of Fulton County Government to ensure High Availability, System Redundancy and ensure Disaster Recovery protocols in compliance with generally accepted cyber security standards such as the CSF (Cyber Security Framework) and / or FedRAMP/StateRAMP.
- Verification and Validation of the Functional & Technical specifications to address all the current and established future needs of Fulton County Government. The goal is to also address the current pain areas that will be addressed in the upgrade from CGI Advantage 3.10 to CGI Advantage 4.x
- Verify and Validate data migration protocols used to migrate data from the existing system to the proposed system, while ensuring that established standards of data integrity, including criteria for data cleansing, are enforced.
- Verify & validate the proposed training plan and ensure that on-going system maintenance and support are included in a Transition and Operational Support Plan.
- Verify & validate an organizational change management “strategy”
- Verify and validate that the implementation vendor’s approach to technical, functional, and regression testing is sound and follows industry standards/best practices.
Scope of Work: The scope of the initiative is to independently verify and validate the design, configuration, and implementation of the latest version of the County's ERP application. Additionally, program management office ”PMO“ governance and organizational change management is within scope to prepare Fulton County employees for the new platform (e.g. stakeholder engagement, communication, training, change impact, and readiness assessments).
Community Impact: Improved ease-of-use and productivity creates a better service experience for employees, businesses, and other agencies conducting business with Fulton County.
