The University of Hyperion Planning
Re-Design and Financial Reporting Remediation Project
(HPR) Overview
The purpose of
this solicitation is to obtain information and pricing for the selection of
the Successful Bidder/s ("Contractor/s") to provide analysis,
planning, and execution for the improved performance of the Hyperion Planning
and Reporting environments. The
resulting contract from this solicitation shall include all associated costs for labor, time, and any
additional expenses as required.
Proposal should be separated into two Phases: Analysis & Planning
and Execution. Phases must be quoted
as separate costs. Hardware and software will be provided by MD Anderson and
should not be included. An award will be made for the Analysis & Planning
Phase upon close of this RFP. Key areas of implementation include: Analysis, Design, Build / Test,
Data Integration, Data Reconciliation, Deployment, Training, and Post
Production Support. M.D. Anderson's division of Information Services has oversight
responsibility for the systems covered under this scope of work. BackgroundThe current Oracle Hyperion Planning application has not undergone a
thorough "efficiency overhaul" since its inception. It fails to
leverage improvements offered in the current version of the Planning
application. The daily systems process is cumbersome and memory intensive. The
memory issue has led to extended daily processing and to process failures. The current Hyperion Financial Reporting Close application and
processes share the same need for an "efficiency overhaul" as they
too have not been significantly addressed within the last 6+ years. Today the
environment requires a significant amount of manual support and nurturing. As
the usage of this application increases throughout the monthly and year-end
Financial Close process the stability of the application becomes an issue and
requires additional manual intervention. PRE BID MEETING
