Background

The DRMIS requirement(DND):

DND has an SAP-based integrated information system for the support of Materiel Acquisition and Support and Financial and Managerial Accounting business processes, as well as a number of other related processes. Implementation of this integratedinformation system involved the replacement of a large number of legacy systems with two main SAP R/3 based solutions: the Materiel Acquisition and Support Information System (MASIS) and the Financial and Managerial Accounting System (FMAS). In April 2010, these two systems were merged to establish a single core SAP ECC 6.0 based solution, known as the DRMIS.Further consolidation of business processes has occurred with the implementation of an SAP solution for supply chain functionality in the DRMIS,as well as the incorporation of other business processes including those related to real property management.

As the department continues to leverage the DRMIS to meet evolving requirements, and as functionality is increased and organizational coverage is widened (for example, the integration into the DRMIS of supply chain functionality and other businessprocesses such as those related to real property management) it is expected that the DRMIS will grow to over 30,000 users in the coming years. Thesefuture opportunities will allow the organization to achieve maximum benefit from its Enterprise ResourcePlanning (ERP) platforms.

Professional Services may be required in support of the DRMIS activities for the following three scope categories:

1. 1)
   Steady-state In-service Support;
2. 2)
   Expansion of the DRMIS footprint; and
3. 3)
   Additional Work Requirements.

The SIGMA System requirement (PWGSC):

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has implemented an integrated system that supports financial management, material management and project management business lines using the SAP Business Intelligence (BI) and SAP Productivity Pak.

The SIGMA System is a complex system with SAP at the core of the solution. It was initially implemented in 2008 to meet departmental financial and material management requirements and is currently being used by over 6,200 users located within PWGSC and in other government departments.

The department continues to leverage The SIGMA System to meet evolving requirements in order to achieve savings and operational efficiencies. With the integration of real property functionality into the SIGMA System, it is expected that the SIGMA System will grow to over 8,700 users in the coming years.

PWGSC continues to identify future opportunities that can allow the organization to achieve maximum benefit fromitsERP platforms.

Professional Services will be required in support of the SIGMA System activities for the following two scope categories:

1)Steady-state In-service Support; and
2) Additional Work Requirements.
