Purpose of the Project:

The current statewide Financial and HR/Payroll system called SAM II, was implemented in 1999. It is an outdated system used by state agencies for accounting, budget, procurement, payroll and human resource management. SAM II is difficult to support and no longer satisfies the needs of Missouri state government. Missourians expect to conduct business and interact with the State of Missouri via modern means using online services and mobile devices. The Office of Administration has initiated the procurement process for a new ERP tool that will replace the existing SAM II Financial and HR/Payroll systems. A new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tool will assist Missouri state government with a digital transformation and serve as a foundation for continued e-government initiatives. This is a statewide effort and state agencies have been advised to make plans to dedicate resources to the project.

The State of Missouri has selected Oracle Cloud ERP as the software solution to replace the legacy SAM II system.  The statewide ERP system will include functionality for Budget Development, Financial Management, Procurement, Human Resources and Payroll.  The State of Missouri selected Accenture as the System Integration Services contractor.

MoDOT has many unique business requirements that distinguish it from other state agencies. These requirements include, producing audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Federal Highway Administration project billing, extensive use of consumable inventories to manage highway maintenance and sign activities, statutory procurement authority to issue formal bids, management of MoDOT/MSHP medical and life benefits, as well as the management of pay policies and salary grid. The selection of the new ERP solution and the successful implementation will be crucial for MoDOT to continue to operate and manage resources in an efficient and fiscally responsible manner. MoDOT’s Executive Team recognizes the significance of this statewide effort to the department’s business continuity plan and has made the commitment to dedicate the necessary resources to participate alongside the statewide team to ensure a successful outcome for the department.

The Oracle Cloud ERP project schedule includes multiple phases.  An updated project schedule was released on October 17, 2023.  Revised implementation dates are as follows: 

July 1, 2024 - Budget Development and Learning Cloud
