Caltrans
Project Management, ERP, and Architecture: Infiniti's is currently performing Project Management Support and Mentoring on the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS) project. This is a very large project that will replace Caltrans mainframe accounting system and approximately 70 other legacy systems with an integrated ERP and data warehouse/business intelligence solution. It will use an EAI platform to integrate the new financial system with Caltrans other specialized systems (construction, engineering, maintenance, equipment manufacturing). Infiniti’s responsibilities include scope management, cost management, quality management, time management, project human resource management (staffing), communications management, risk management, and procurement management. Independent Project Oversight (IPOC): Infiniti is performing Project Oversight for the Bulk Fuel System (BFS) project Project Management and Enterprise Architecture: In 2003, prior to founding Infiniti, both of Infiniti's partners were Architect, Project Director, and Project Manager, for the Financial Systems Integration Study & Strategic Plan, a project with the goal of completing a baseline analysis of existing systems with financial data, developing a conceptual architecture for a future financial system, and constructing a strategic plan for enterprise-wide financial management. Our Project Director was responsible for project oversight and mentoring the project manager as well as for the hiring of project staff and project vision and direction; this included final responsibility of the project scope. Our Project Manager developed the project plan and associated metrics necessary to effectively manage the project as well as managed the team that identified redundancies between proposed systems and existing systems, gained an understanding of both the commonalities and unique functions across program areas, and developed an enterprise view to enable better strategic and tactical planning and decision-making by the Department. Our Enterprise Architect led the team of analysts, data-modelers, and ERP specialists responsible for developing the new architecture and transition strategy. The scope included analysis of the function and process overlaps over 180 systems across the Department. Infiniti’s managing owner created a formalized architectural approach for this project using aspects of the leading enterprise architecture methodologies including IEEE 1471, Zachman Framework, and Bill Inmon’s Government Information Factory. The new architecture focused on the use of ERP, EAI, data warehouse/business intelligence components integrated with Caltrans specialized systems. |
