    Description:
    York is soliciting Proposals from experienced and qualified Proponents for the supply, delivery, implementation, support and maintenance of an Enterprise Budget and Forecasting Software solution.

    York is seeking to acquire and implement a new Budget and Forecast Software system to improve efficiency of its current budgeting process to better serve the user community and support the overall budget planning cycle across all units.  The software solution is expected to be web-based, user-friendly, deliver real-time data, maximize benefits, easy to input data, manage, and retrieve information for budget analysis, decision-making and reporting and storage or archive.

    The new software solution should enable York to plan, budget, forecast, track business objectives, initiatives and resources to support the overall budget planning cycle across all business units. The new software solution should enable all budgeting and forecasting activities to occur within the University’s activity based budgeting model whereby revenues are allocated to the revenue generating areas and shared services costs are attributed to the revenue generating areas using cost drivers. The requirements include:

    •Extract and load information from multiple ERP systems to deliver up-to-date budget and actual financials and headcount information (current within the last 24 hours).
    •Allocate revenues and expenses across multiple departments and GL accounts utilizing drivers
    •Ability to cost resources against programs, projects, and initiatives.
    •Provide standard and ad hoc reporting combining financial and non-financial data - i.e. Financial reporting, vacancy reporting, project reporting, program reporting, and multi-year outlooks
    •Provide audit trail to track changes
    •Provide automatic rollups with drill down capability
    •Modelling and what-if analysis
    •Calculate different revenue line items
    •Extensible using APIs and connectors, thus allowing it to:
    • Integrate with existing systems within York’s environment
    • Connect to external applications and data sources
    • Connect to external cloud services using Representational State Transfer (REST) protocol

    See Mandatory and Desirable System Requirements (Section 6.4 and 6.5 respectively) for a more compressive list of requirements.
