RFP Scope:  FCC initiated a large-scale financial systems replacement project in 2018. The project encompasses a complete replacement of FCC’s Financial Systems and is expected to last at least 2 years (into fiscal year 2020-21). The purpose of this RFP is to select a qualified partner to plan and execute project health check audits throughout the project.
The objective for conducting the health check audits will be to gain an independent assessment, at any point during the project life cycle, of how effectively the financial systems project is progressing. FCC is primarily seeking a partner with demonstrated expertise in auditing the viability and effectiveness of enterprise scale technology implementation projects (i.e. FCC is not seeking in-depth technical, or product specific expertise).
