Additional information on the PBCS solution can be found at: http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/cloud/planning-budgeting/overview/index.html

Project Understanding, Approach and Schedule This project is intended to implement Oracle’s Planning and Budgeting Cloud software (PBCS) for the County, including the Operating Budget, Capital Improvement Program, and Position Planning. InnoFin is recommending a strategy that will minimize risk and simultaneously allow the project team to focus on meeting project timeline and budget goals. The following Oracle software components are expected to be deployed as part of this effort and are included in the PBCS licenses:

• Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service • Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio • Data Integration • Hyperion Shared Services & Life Cycle Management • Hyperion Calculation Manager • Hyperion Smart View

Typical high level objectives for PBCS projects we’ve completed at other similar public sector organizations are as follows:

• Streamlined budgeting process across multiple departments within the County, including development of the annual Operating Budget, five-year Capital Improvement Program, and Position Planning.

• Robust budget and position reporting and analytics including actuals from EBS Financials.

• Interfaces with ADP Personnel System to streamline position planning and reporting. • Robust form creation and distribution for efficient data collection. • Decision packages used for budgeting scenarios outside the base budget process. • Flexibility to adapt to changes in the budget process and information needs. • Facilitation of Budget Book development and publishing.

Our understanding is that the high level scope for this project is to implement Oracle’s Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service to replace the current Legacy System. The following planning models are in-scope:

o Operating Budget – to facilitate fund-level planning and consolidated reporting. o Capital Improvement Program – to facilitate planning of the capital investment

projects and programs for the County. o Position Planning – to facilitate planning of salaries and other compensation

related elements by position. Out-of-Scope

• Complex data mapping • Performance based budgeting • Extended Post-Production Support • Disaster recovery testing

20

GeneralAssumptions

§ Data from Oracle ERP and ADP Personnel will be integrated via the flat files § Metadata from Oracle ERP will be integrated via flat files § Line Item cube within the application will be configured to mirror the dimensions from

Larimer County’s Oracle ERP GL § Larimer County resources will be responsible for validating historical data and

investigating any differences in Larimer County source systems or reports. § Larimer County will define power users(s) for Hyperion Planning at the start of the

project. The power users(s) will participate in the project in all stages and will be the focal point for power user knowledge transfer

§ At the conclusion of requirements and design, the project timeline and costs may be revisited based upon more detailed information

25

Section3–TestingOur testing approach centers around a strategy of multiple checkpoints early and often in the project. It is much easier to correct course early on and so we build in multiple feedback points from our customers as a core tenant of our project methodology. Unit Testing – Unit testing happens throughout the development cycles to ensure single pieces of functionality work as expected and that calculations deliver the expected results. Conference Room Pilot 1 – We use these sessions to review the application build with various stakeholders to ensure we are on the right track with building out functionality to support the defined requirements. These sessions are typically held over a one week time period and involve demonstration of application functionality. It’s a good idea to bring in multiple types of users to these sessions so that we are getting appropriate feedback from all impacted areas. Conference Room Pilot 2 – In these sessions, we aim to have about 80% of the application functionality developed so that users can start to see what the end-to-end process will look like within the application. We develop scripts for users to execute to start some training as well in this phase. We develop sessions to support each business process with the appropriate user groups for each. User Acceptance Testing – Formal testing sessions are held to gain final user acceptance of the system. Scripts are developed for each functional area and the users invited to participate undergo navigation training as well, to ensure they can successfully complete their scripts. Topics are set up to mimic the final processes for the customer to test both the system and train users on the process steps. System Integration Testing – Technical testing of the data flow both in and out of the final system is critical to ensure the process is well understood and that all data formats and values are correct and repeatable.

Section4–TrainingandSupport

Oracle Training Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) incorporates a number of cloud-specific features to make it extremely easy to get users up and running with virtually zero training needed. These include a large amount of online help and tutorials, as well as best practice templates and guides. Guided application navigation capabilities take a new user through the whole process of building an application.

26

Training Approach Training and Knowledge Transfer are critical to a successful implementation. To ensure a successful transition from current systems and processes to the Hyperion solution, InnoFin recommends a holistic approach to client project involvement across the following areas:

• Project Team Training: this training occurs during the Discovery and Design milestones of the project, and allows the project team to become thoroughly familiar with the Oracle Hyperion software solution, its components, and its capabilities. InnoFin delivers this training using our demonstration environment containing example applications and artifacts. It also allows project team members to ask questions, understand software vocabulary, and understand key features.

• Conference Room Pilot Participation: during the development milestone two conference room pilots will take place. InnoFin believes participation in these conference room pilots is important to allow early previews of application features and functionality. The feedback in these sessions allows end-users to further understand software features and capabilities.

• End-User Training: InnoFin will prepare custom training materials using a combination of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. InnoFin will deliver a customized training session to client trainers using a “train-the-trainer” approach.

Support Approach InnoFin recommends that Larimer County considers utilizing our support offering post-go live. For a minimal monthly cost, the County can rest assured that any technical issues with the system will be resolved by a knowledgeable support resource. This will allow the County to keep the business users focused on utilizing the system and not also having the burden of learning to manage the application. We have found that by utilizing an outsourced administration offering, the County will be much better enabled to use the application to the highest capacity and allow for growth and change with the platform over time. The Oracle PBCS platform includes monthly feature/function updates and InnoFin will always be up to date on how these new items could be used to benefit the County. We offer two different support options to select from with the ability to modify the fixed fee approach for additional hours, for an increase in costs. With the ability to bank hours, the County can ensure they have adequate coverage for the high usage periods. We require a one-year support commitment with the option to renew in one year increments.

Hourly Basis as Needed Monthly Fee • Hourly rate defined for resource to

assist as needed • Work is done at customer direction • Response time may vary depending on

consultant availability • Requests managed via email

• Monthly Fixed Fee for bucket of 40 hours

• Work is managed by InnoFin to agreed service levels

• Up to 20 hours per month can be banked up to 80 hours in total

• Additional hours over 40 are billed at $150/hr

$150/Hour $1,250/Month

28

We will develop a detailed project plan at the conclusion of the requirements sessions and will coordinate with County resources to determine appropriate weeks for the major milestones of the project.
