What is ERP?
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) business process management software uses a system of integrated applications to manage an organization’s core processes such as accounting, payroll, human resources (HR), inventory and procurement.
Information is entered once and applies across other business processes, resulting in less effort and fewer errors.
History
The 80th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3106 that charged the Comptroller’s office with establishing clear standards for implementing ERP in Texas. This effort was originally called ProjectONE.
The Comptroller’s office ProjectONE team developed an ERP financials and HR/payroll solution that delivers the functionality required by HB 3106 for Texas state government. That solution is the Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System (CAPPS).
CAPPS: A single set of books for Texas
With an ERP-based system, automated reporting is flexible and more accurate, allowing better access to data and a broader range of report detail for “big-picture” overviews.
The CAPPS platform is built from Oracle’s PeopleSoft suite and is upgraded and maintained with the latest images and patches as delivered by Oracle.
CAPPS is currently in production at 107 state agencies.
CAPPS aligns with CPA’s Agency Strategic Plan for the Period 2019–23 and supports A Plan for the Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for the State of Texas developed by the legislatively mandated ERP Advisory Council.
Benefits of CAPPS Statewide Implementation
CAPPS Provides a single source of state financial and human resources/payroll information that maximizes state agencies’ ability to:
- Manage operations efficiently
- Minimize conflicting data
- Provide decision-makers with in-depth, accurate and timely information
Additional details about the CAPPS system are outlined in the CAPPS Program Overview.
