SHARP Programming Freeze for the Duration of the FMS Project
The State of Kansas is currently in the process of implementing
a new Statewide Financial Management System (FMS). The Sunflower
Project Team, in conjunction with the Department of Administration
and Executive Sponsors, is dedicated to bringing the Financial Management
System online for all agencies on July 1, 2010. The new FMS system
will use PeopleSoft Financial Management as the software and will
be fully integrated with the Statewide Human Resource and Payroll
System (SHARP).
In order to provide the most stable production, development and
testing environments possible for the extensive design, programming,
and testing required for the success of the Sunflower Project, a
programming freeze is being instituted for the Statewide Human Resource
and Payroll (SHARP) system. Effective immediately, only changes
required to comply with legislative mandates, remain current with
system maintenance, or resolve production processing issues will
be applied to the SHARP system. The implementation of this freeze
will minimize disruption to development, testing and production
environments and maximize the resources available to assist in the
successful implementation of the new Financial Management System.
Requests for programming action or changes that fall outside of
the areas noted above will be reviewed and prioritized for action
after a stable processing environment is established following the
go live date of July 1, 2010.
