Statewide Integrated Governmental Management Applications
+ Project SIGMA is a business process transformation project implementing new software
as the State of Michigan's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution.
« SIGMA integrates disparate State systems and provides end-to-end support for
accounting, procurement, and employee timekeeping functions.
« It replaced over 60 systems in state government operations, including 24-year old
enterprise systems like MAIN and DCDS and numerous agency specific systems.
* SIGMA includes approximately 200 unique document types and over 250 enterprise
reports in addition to automation of the State's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
and public Transparency Portal
‘estrmaion Wl ciean verted* Accounting and Financial Management
‘SIGMA replaces the Michigan Administrative Information Network (MAIN), which is comprised of
four distinct enterprise components: R*STARS, AdPICS, RMDS, and MIDB. MAIN was
implemented in the State in 1994 for all State of Michigan accounting, financial management, and
financial reporting functions.
+ Employee Timekeeping
‘SIGMA replaces DCDS for employee time and attendance, leave and overtime requests, labor
distribution, and employee expense reimbursement functions. SIGMA will include web-enabled
direct entry of time and expense information by all state employees with online approvals by state
supervisors and managers,
= Procurement
SIGMA replaces Buy4Michigan for the State's procurement functions and provides a fully
integrated procure-to-pay system supporting over 100,000 vendors that do business with the State.
SIGMA Procurement will also be used by local units of government to support select procurement
functions for local government operations.

Government Operations?
= SIGMA will enhance the work of approximately 6,000 core application users in a system that
addresses over 5,000 State of Michigan requirements
' SIGMA will be the backbone of state goverment operations supporting the delivery of state
‘government services. In addition to the enterprise-wide systems replaced by SIGMA, SIGMA delivers
new functions at an enterprise level in a standardized manner. These include:
+ Extensive cost accounting and cost allocation functions to address project and grant accounting needs,
increase automation of complex accounting functions, and enable improved transparency reporting deta.
‘These functions are configured to address over 10,000 individual projets and gran statewide.
+ Grant lifecycle management, which includes integration with federal grant opportunity information, enabling
the State to pursue grant opportunities in an automated manner. I also enables online State grant offerings
allowing local units of government and service agencies fo pursue opportunities fo collaborate wth the State in
{an efclont manner
+ Asset and inventory management functions that are integrated wth procurement, cost accounting, nd
financial reporting.
+ Performance budgeting, which was implemented in August 2016 and has additional financial integration
functionality, being implemented in July 2017. In addition to direct use by the State, Stale of Michigan
«Colleges and Universities use SIGMA Budget directly to address capital outlay requests.

* By standardizing processes and systems, we have ensured the state will be able to seamlessly
adapt to a changing environment while reducing long-term costs.
* By reengineering processes to meet the solution’s best practices we have certainty regarding the
long-term stability of the system and the associated costs,
' Standardization of the data improves the ability for the State to be responsive to an ever-
changing environment:
+ Employees can transition seamlessly when organizational changes occur,
+ Impacts of new and different reporting needs can be addressed quickly, and
+ Requests for information from constituents, lawmakers, and businesses can be addressed more
efficiently and effectively.

‘Services? Cont'd
* Streamlined business processes that work similarly across departments enable improved data
consistency and reporting internally and improved access to information for businesses interacting
with the State (the State's vendor community), economic developers, and constituents
* Local units of government will be able to leverage SIGMA to support critical functions surrounding
procurement and they are also able to leverage the same software and collaborate with the State on
standardized solutions, like two counties and one city in Michigan are already doing,
* Colleges and Universities began using SIGMA Budget directly for Capital Outlay requests with the
Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Development cycle and will continue to do so for years to come.
Collaboration across federal, state, and local units of government is improved through integrated,
online functions such as grant lifecycle management.
