1. Executive Summary

26th February 2010 Maricopa County Community College District 2411 West 14th Street Tempe, Arizona 85281-6941 Subject: Response to RFP 2977-10 for Oracle/PeopleSoft Enterprise Systems Consulting and Related Services

Dear Sir / Madam, Smart ERP Solutions, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal in response to the Maricopa County Community College District (henceforth referred to as “MCCCD”) – RFP 2977-10 for Oracle/PeopleSoft Enterprise Systems Consulting and Related Services. In order to insure we have addressed each of MCCCD’s requirements, we have included each of the sections in our proposal response. Smart ERP Solutions, Inc. is proposing to offer MCCCD unparalleled PeopleSoft expertise, Higher Education experience and best practices. Our team of Solution Architects and Consultants will provide MCCCD with the highest level of quality resources available. Our team has extensive experience in not only Higher Education/Public Sector, but also as former Architects, Analysts and Executives of the PeopleSoft product line. Our team, comprised of almost 100% former Oracle / PeopleSoft employees, has demonstrated expertise in PeopleSoft technologies, best practice processes, functionality, and quality analysis. In every project where we have provided our solutions and services, we have succeeded in delivering our services on schedule, and within the project budget. SmartERP has an unparalleled, demonstrated track record of 100% success with every single project, and we pride ourselves in finding innovative ways to save our clients money, shorten timelines, reduce risks, and lower total cost of ownership by avoiding costly customizations. SmartERP has a unique approach compared to traditional consulting firms. Rather than assigning ever-expanding teams of consultants towards projects, SmartERP takes a solutions-based approach towards PeopleSoft projects, upgrades and new implementations by applying pre-built, proven solutions to address areas that are common to any PeopleSoft project. As demonstrated in the table below, this results in incredible efficiencies and is a key differentiator when comparing SmartERP to traditional consulting firms. In several client scenarios, these solutions have helped our customers save as much as 80% compared to customizing the standard product.

3. Answers to RFP Questionnaire (Response to Sectio n 7 of RFP)

Description of Firm/Personnel Smart ERP Solutions was founded by former Oracle/PeopleSoft employees and is a cutting edge, PeopleSoft services and solutions provider with a consistent track record of success, not only in upgrade and implementation services, but also in providing flexible, configurable solutions to complex business problems. To highlight this experience, our CEO Doris Wong has over 25 years of technical, product development and business experience in the enterprise software industry. Prior to joining Smart ERP, Doris served as Oracle’s Group Vice President and General Manager responsible for the entire PeopleSoft product line, which included Human Capital Management, Financial Management, Supply Chain Management, Customer Relationship Management, Enterprise Performance Management, and PeopleTools. Doris is a 15-year veteran in working with PeopleSoft/Oracle products and customers, and was responsible for the strategic direction and product development of the PeopleSoft product line, including the strategy and content of the 9.1 release. Doris Wong will serve as the Executive Sponsor of this project at no additional cost to MCCCD.

SmartERP possesses solid domain and technical ability and boasts offerings ranging from Implementations, Professional Services, Support, Project Management and solutions that help our clients improve productivity and enhance their various business processes. In this proposal, we will provide substantial evidence of why we believe that our solutions and services will result in a unique and competitive value proposition to MCCCD:

• People. Our team is comprised of Executives, Strategists, Developers, Analysts, Quality

Assurance, and Support experts who worked many years at Oracle and PeopleSoft. Our resources have demonstrated expertise in PeopleSoft technologies, processes, functionality, and quality analysis. Many of our consultants who will be assisting MCCCD worked at PeopleSoft on the development of the 9.0 upgrade scripts and the strategy and content of the 9.1 release. Get your PeopleSoft system upgraded by the people who built these applications!

• Methodology. We have a proven track record of providing leadership, facilitation, and design of

business processes. We have helped numerous clients analyze, design, and improve their business processes. Our approach is to facilitate, rather than dictate, all processes. We have a proven methodology that draws on the strengths of SmartERP consultants and our clients to form an effective team and a cost effective solution.

• Executive Oversight. SmartERP Executives bring unique advantages to our clients and their

mission critical projects. As part of our commitment to ensuring our clients’ success, SmartERP assigns an Executive Sponsor to each and every client. Our Executives will take complete responsibility for delivering 100% success for MCCCD and we provide this service at no cost to you. Our Executive Sponsor, Doris Wong, will work directly with the MCCCD’s executives and will participate during any Executive Steering Committee meetings in order to provide insight and strategies for the project based on experience in providing oversight for Public Sector entities from both a business and technical perspective.

• Results. The strongest differentiator between SmartERP and our competition is the quality of our

professionals and our ability to consistently meet or exceed the project objectives through efficient delivery of innovative solutions. And you don’t have to take our word for it, listen to what our clients have to say. We implemented PeopleSoft 9.0 at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, within a twelve month schedule and within budget. Ed Below, the Director of Administrative Applications at Wesleyan had the following to say in reference to our add-on solutions for PeopleSoft:

"The new system is providing tremendous benefits to the university and the add-ons provided by SmartERP accelerated our project and introduced important new functionality into the standard PeopleSoft application. The go-live went very smoothly. We couldn’t be more pleased with the new system so far and SmartERP has been great to work with throughout the project".

SmartERP helps many organizations utilize best practices to eliminate manual paper processes and roll out enterprise wide workflow and process automation. For example, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital chose SmartERP to implement workflow to enhance and automate workflow approvals for their PeopleSoft eProcurement, Vouchers and Custom Check Request. SmartERP implemented enterprise-wide workflow, encompassing the entire expenditure life cycle on schedule and within budget. Alan French, the Executive Director of Finance had the following to say regarding our workflow methodology and approach:

“Smart Workflow is an invaluable, user friendly, addition to our PeopleSoft. SmartERP personnel are

intelligent, efficient and truly stand by their product”

Smart Security Smart Security™ secures any field on any page, avoiding costly, difficult-to-maintain customizations. Smart Loader™ provides for bulk load of user security profiles.

Smart Docs There are many PeopleSoft pages that are extremely cumbersome for the everyday user, thus making training and decentralizing simple processes very difficult. Most organizations only require minimal information and several of the fields that are required by PeopleSoft aren’t necessarily applicable to the organization. Smart Docs gives you the ability to choose what fields and actions your organization would like to expose on the page. This framework is highly configurable and, without customization, populates all of the delivered tables in the case that you may have “power users” who need additional information on that transaction. Thus reducing the training effort and allowing the ability to decentralize processes that will make your organization more efficient and effective!

Smart Workflow Smart Workflow™ provides complex automated workflow with enhanced features such as common in-box, attachments and ad-hoc approvers while avoiding costly, difficult-to-maintain customizations. Smart Workflow empowers the individual business user to define and alter routing rules when their business requirements change. This replaces the inefficient process of requesting IT support in order to configure workflow capabilities to address immediate needs. Key Features of Smart Workflow include: • Common approval framework for all PeopleSoft applications. • Configurable common approval inbox, which replaces the standard PeopleSoft work list • Common approver setup with user friendly Approver Wizard • Routings and approvals can be by amount and/or field values and can have multiple levels and stages • Approval rules and approver setup is both wizard-based and designed to be used by the business user rather than IT personnel • Supports parallel and sequential approval paths, and workflow attachments • Allows ad hoc approvers and reviewers to be easily inserted into the approval cycle • Graphical display showing the status of the document at all approval stages • Electronic/digitized signatures for invoice approvals and other areas • Flexible report for an administrator to review the various approver setups • Designed with minimal customization impact and minimal upgrade impact • Works with all PeopleSoft applications and PeopleTools releases

Smart Lifecycle Viewer The Smart Lifecycle Viewer solution graphically shows the status of any PeopleSoft document (students, new hires, requisitions, POs, etc.), as well as all related supporting documents, via an intuitive, easy-to-use interface with intelligent drill-down or drill-up capabilities built in. Smart Lifecycle Viewer uses the latest PeopleSoft technology to present users with graphically rich icons that show the current status of PeopleSoft documents, as well as quick links to any related supporting documents, increasing everyone’s productivity by reducing clicks. The Viewer can be used with any PeopleSoft 8.x release that is on PeopleTools 8.48 or greater and is highly configurable to fit any organization’s requirements.

Smart Keys PeopleSoft Chart of Accounts (COA) consists of several different ChartField values of varying lengths. PeopleSoft provides various quick entry features like Speed Types, Speed Charts, Distribution Codes, Account/Combination Codes, Item Types etc. to enable easy and quick entry of these ChartField values. The restriction of these quick entry features is that they are limited to certain areas of the Financials and are not applied consistently across the system.

Smart Student Expense Entry Currently only employees can enter expense reports in PeopleSoft financials. Several

Universities have identified a need for students to be able to enter their expense reports directly into the system without implementing the Expenses Module. Student information, such as bank and addresses, is available in the Student Financial system. Creating a User ID for each student as an employee to access the financial system is cumbersome and creates unnecessary maintenance. In addition, data security would be a concern along with the training of the students. Smart Student Expense Entry is an innovative add-on solution that enables each customer to configure their PeopleSoft Student Expense Entry to meet their unique needs. Include only the fields you require, where they are required, tailor the overall process and pages to meet your exacting needs. With the Smart Student Expense Entry we have simplified the page, created extensive functionality, incorporated workflow and row level security, all without having the expense module implemented. This creates a streamlined uniformed approach for data collection from Students.

Capabili ties: Features that make Smart Student Expense Entry exceptional include enhanced capabilities such as: • No need to have the Expenses Module • Enter expense reports without creating a user id • Data collection from SA system • Save as draft • Copy to/from templates to streamline expense entry • Row level security based on any field on the expense entry • Attachments that follow the expense entry • Robust workflow with multi-level approvals, attachments, ad hoc approvers • Collaboration with threaded comments • Configurable expense entry printing • Lifecycle view of where each expense entry is in the business process • Context sensitive configurable help

Smart Workflow Framework: PeopleSoft applications provide various workflow features that vary by module. The AWE engine provides capabilities for creating, running, and managing approval processes within PeopleSoft. But the delivered process may not satisfy all the approval needs to effectively manage their day-to-day tasks and also features vary by modules. We are experts in extending the Approval Workflow Engine framework to all PeopleSoft documents. This will empower individual business user to define and alter routing rules when their business requirements change. The efficiencies of automated electronic approvals were applied with a common in-box across numerous modules. This not only speeds up and automates approvals but also increases accountability and strengthens financial controls. Key Features

• Common Capabilities for your Enterprise • User Defined Routing Rules and wizard based rules setup • Route by any Field Value or tree nodes • Common Approver/Reviewer Setup

BIDDER REFERENCES Private Business Contracts 1. Company Name: ____ Wesleyan University ___________________________ Address: 237 High Street, Middletown, CT 06459_______________________________ Phone #: (860) 685-2855 Email: _ [email protected]_________________ Contact Person: _____Ed Below___________________________________________________ Contract Period: From: _____July, 2008____________ To: ________June 2009______________ Describe Services: SmartERP implemented PeopleSoft Financials 9.0 along with Smart Solutions to tailor PeopleSoft to fit specific needs of Wesleyan, while avoiding cumbersome and expensive customizations.

SmartERP brought Wesleyan live on PeopleSoft Financials 9.0 in a short twelve month schedule, within budget, and with a host of additional functionality to meet their goals.

Our Smart Docs solution was applied to the standard PeopleSoft business processes to streamline and tailor them to precisely fit Wesleyan’s requirements. Complicated multi-page, multi-tab transactions were simplified to single pages. Smart Docs were created for on-line journal entry, budget journals, accounts payable vouchers, travel expenses, deposit transmittals, grants proposals, purchasing requisitions. Smart Workflow, Smart Security and Smart Keys solutions were also implemented and integrated with the Smart Docs transactions. 2. Company Name: __Northwestern University _______________________________________ Address: _1800 Sherman Avenue, Suite 200, Evanston, IL 60204____________ Phone #: _847.467.1577 Email#: [email protected]____________ Contact Person: __ Jason Schober_______________________________________________ Contract Period: From: _____November, 2008_____ To: _____August, 2009________________ Describe Services: Self-Service Journal Entry/Budget Transfer

• Journal creation, edit, budget Check, and workflow submission distributed to department users.

• Needed the ability to identify and search for the different types of journal (Internal Transfer, Correction, etc.).

• Enabled Row Level Security on Actuals and Budget Ledgers.

• Needed the ability to restrict the entry of certain type of journal entries to specific users.

• 90-Day Rule applied to journals entered through Northwestern portal, which forces users to supply additional justification information when corrections are being done to journals dated 90 days ago.

• Deployed easy to use portlets and simplified screens on existing PeopleSoft Portal, for a user community of over 3000 participants.

Page 22

Enhanced Row Level Security

Northwestern had specific security requirements, which called for enhanced security in PeopleSoft 8.9 Financials, beyond the row level security delivered in standard product. These row level security requirements were met by implementing SmartERP’s Smart Security suite.

• Provided flexible and configurable options to restrict data security by Department/Program/Project; • Limited security by ‘User’; • Allowed Context Based Security for all General Ledger and Grants related pages; • Extended security capabilities to a reporting solution, Cognos; and • Automatically created various security and authorization values as new users are added or deleted

in the system.

Enhanced Workflow

Currently, PeopleSoft applications provide various workflow features that vary by module, do not have a consistent look and feel, and do not satisfy all the needs of PeopleSoft users to effectively manage their day to day tasks. Northwestern has identified the gaps that exist in the PeopleSoft standard workflow solutions and wanted a solution that would facilitate:

• Setting up of Workflow Routing rules for all transactions in one place; • Setting up all the approvers in one place; • Eliminating standard work lists and bringing a more flexible, highly configurable Approval Common

Inbox to approve all transactions from a single place; • Ability to reassign workflow; • Ability for the subordinate reassignment if the document is not acted upon in a timely fashion; • In the case of multiple approvers, the final approver will be able to make the journal available for

posting with minimum key strokes; • Need ‘line level’ routing on journals. If more than one department is used then each department’s

approval rules must be followed; • Need the ability to have differing workflow routings based on dollar amounts; • Departmental Amount Approval will always be required for transactions greater than or equal to

$500.00; and • For transactions charging to multiple departments, the approval must be able to take multiple paths.

In this scenario, all approvers within the path must approve, before the transaction can be fully approved in the Department stage.

These complex requirements were easily met using Smart Docs and SmartWorkflow products. Proposal Express (EPEX) on delivered Proposal Entry page in the Grants Module was crated to simplify the proposal entry process. Smart Workflow utilized to streamline the approval process and assure compliance as well as Emory business requirements. Additional functionality built in to both without customization to delivered PeopleSoft. Emory is live on this solution since September, 2009. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS INFORMATION
