Background
The State of Florida Accounting Information Resource (FLAIR) system is based on software developed in the 1970s and was implemented as the core of the state's financial system in 1981. Recognizing the risks and shortcomings of FLAIR, the Legislature authorized and appropriated funds to the Department of Financial Services in Fiscal Year 2013-2014 to conduct a study of replacement options. The ultimate result of this study was a recommendation to replace the core functionality of FLAIR and the Treasury cash management system (CMS). The replacement of FLAIR and CMS has been recognized as the Florida Planning Accounting and Ledger Management (PALM) Project. As the Florida PALM Project proceeds in the replacement of CMS and components of FLAIR, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will need to prepare for and execute specific transition activities that will require additional resources. The Florida PALM transition approach is to replace the CMS components first, followed by the Central FLAIR functions, then the FLAIR Payroll functions, and finally, the Departmental FLAIR functions.
With the replacement of CMS components and the eventual replacement of all FLAIR functions, agency business systems will need to be assessed and analyzed to determine if they will require modifications, if they are to be retired, or if they will be unimpacted. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has numerous business systems that exchange data with FLAIR. Many of these systems will be required to interact with Florida PALM and continue to provide data files and images on a daily, weekly, and/or monthly basis. Some of these systems, such as Revenue Account Management System (RAMS), are sizeable and will require considerable effort to prepare each of them to accurately communicate with the new Florida PALM system.
