The Coastal Regional Commission is seeking a comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solution to serve the current and projected needs of the commission. The ERP system should provide data processing and reporting for various financial and administrative functions, including general ledger, budgeting, contract management, project and grant accounting, procurement, payroll, and human resource management. The selected vendor will be required to provide software, project management, software installation, implementation, data conversion, integration, training, and ongoing support and maintenance services. The commission prefers a solution that includes seamless integration between as few systems as possible. • The ERP system should replace the current financial system and reduce manual processes. • The system should be a long-term, stable, and scalable solution that integrates with other processes and systems. • The system should have a single platform, be distributed, and accessible throughout the entire commission. • The system should have central, inter-relational databases that feed data throughout the system. • The system should enable easy reporting of data in both standard and custom reports. • The system should be flexible and simple to adapt, expand, or change to meet specific departmental needs. • The system should provide easy access to information across modules with a self-service, searchable format. • The system should employ standard, formal business processes based on leading practices. • The system should maximize the efficiency of business operations through automated workflows and notifications.
