Amendment No.2 available___________________________________________________________________________REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Financial System Implementation and Support Services NAC Project No.: FA2022-01 Objective The NAC’s current financial system is no longer supported and lacks key functionality that is now standard in most financial systems. To bridge these functional gaps employees must rely on manual processes that are effort-intensive and exposed to risk for errors. The NAC must implement a new platform to gain efficiency in everyday work and provide better insight into its business. Use of the current platform is restricted primarily to members of the finance department; however, financial workloads are widely distributed across all departments of the NAC. These departments all require timely access to information related to their financial performance to run the business. This means that the new solution is to meet departmental requirements to budget, forecast and track key performance indicators that are relevant to the functional activities of each line of business (e.g., artistic programming, event production support, catering, box-office sales, infrastructure management, parking, etc.).The NAC’s goal is to enable more efficient operations by implementing a new modern financial system that enables automation, integration, and digitization. This will create an outstanding experience for artists, audiences, and employees. Project Scope of Services The scope of services required for the new NAC financial system include, but are not limited to:implementation of core financial functions; data output and input; internal and external reporting; budgeting; tracking and reporting; automation; digitization; supporting a paperless environment implementation of expense; management; and design system integration. Project Phases and Project Schedule The NAC would like to take a phased approach to the implementation and introduction of functionality of its new financial system, while striving to ensure that Phase 1 and Phase 2 are tested and deployed by April 1, 2023.
