Financial Accounting and Data Repository and Analysis Information Systems

The State of North Dakota’s Retirement & Investment Office is seeking proposals for two integrated solutions: a cloud‑based financial accounting system (Category A) to replace Microsoft Dynamics GP, and a data‑repository & analysis platform (Category B) for investment‑operations reporting. The effort includes full lifecycle services—design, configuration, integration with PeopleSoft, Northern Trust custodial feeds, and Sagitec Neospin, testing, training, implementation, and seven‑year post‑implementation support and optional hosting. The solicitation is open to vendors capable of delivering SaaS or COTS solutions, meeting stringent security (FedRAMP/HITRUST/StateRAMP) and authentication (Azure AD/B2C) requirements, and providing extensive professional‑services deliverables. • Category A: General ledger, chart of accounts, fund accounting, AP integration, GAAP/GASB reporting, and migration from existing GP data. • Category B: Scalable data‑warehouse, daily custodian data ingestion, document storage, analytics, dashboards, and API‑based integration with Category A. • Mandatory deliverables: kickoff, planning, gap analysis, design, interface development, testing, training, implementation, post‑implementation reporting, and final acceptance. • Ongoing obligations: 7 years of software maintenance, support, and optional hosting, with defined SLAs (≥ 99.9 % uptime) and security compliance.
