[State Entity Name] MN Management & Budget [Description of Work] Performance Consultant for PeopleSoft Statewide Application Systems The State of Minnesota utilizes Oracles PeopleSoft Enterprise software for Statewide ERP Application Systems. This includes Financial Accounting and Procurement (FMS), Human Resources/Benefits/Payroll (HCM), Learning Management (ELM), Data Warehouse (EPM), and Portal. These systems are all in production. The State desires better performance of both on-line and batch processing. Several performance tuning improvements have been made over the past fifteen months but new challenges continue to arise. The State of Minnesota recently invested in an Oracle Exadata hardware and software solution to address performance of statewide application systems. However, not every application process will immediately take advantage of the power of the Exadata hardware. Some past performance issues will need to be re-evaluated to ensure they run optimally on the Exadata platform. Additionally, new challenges are expected to occur. There will be a need to continually evaluate process and identify improvements that can be made to address individual performance problems. The State has technical staff capable of reviewing performance and implementing improvements, but this staff has additional work assignments and is not able to focus their efforts strictly on performance improvements. The need is to supplement existing technical staff with external resources that can review performance and recommend solutions to meet business needs. The priority for performance analysis and tuning will be the Oracle PeopleSoft FMS and EPM systems and the performance of the new Exadata system, but additional systems may be reviewed for performance problems.
