In 2020, the Government of Ohio implemented SmartERP within the ERP Financial category to centralize financial and HR-adjacent transactional processing across state agencies. The SmartERP implementation is positioned alongside existing PeopleSoft HCM, Taleo Recruit and Learn, and UKG capabilities, with defined application and data ownership residing in the Department of Administrative Services acting as the coordinating authority between agencies and statewide business units.
The SmartERP deployment includes Core HR aligned financial workflows and explicit SmartERP modules listed in operational governance, including ePar, Time & Labor, NA Payroll, Benefits, Disability, Security, and ePerformance. Configuration and maintenance work follows a formal Software Development Life Cycle, with planned PUM and image updates, version upgrades, defect fixes, and enhancement cycles managed through structured UAT and regression testing for both functional and technical changes.
Integrations are implemented to exchange payroll and personnel data with Ohio Administrative Knowledge System OAKS and records repositories such as OnBase, and to interoperate with State Payroll, Pay Fiscal, Office of Talent Management, Office of Collective Bargaining, State ADA Coordination, and external vendor systems. Operational coverage spans Department of Administrative Services functions and downstream agency core users, supporting reporting, event processing, benefits administration, and cross-agency data reconciliation.
Governance for SmartERP includes a centralized unit of Business Transformation Analysts and Senior BTAs that manage issue triage, maintenance events like open enrollment and W2 processing, enhancement design, and reporting. This unit directs UAT and regression testing, creates standard operating procedures for how information is prepared for OAKS and business stakeholders, and plans resources and timelines for milestones and upgrade activities, ensuring alignment with agency and DAS workflows.

| Microsoft | Legacy | Microsoft BI (SSRS, SSAS, SSIS, SQL Server Reporting) | Analytics and BI | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2016 | 2018 |
In 2016, Government of Ohio deployed Microsoft BI (SSRS, SSAS, SSIS, SQL Server Reporting) as a centralized analytics platform under an Analytics and BI program. The implementation ran on a heterogeneous SQL Server estate including SQL Server 2012, SSIS 2012, SSRS 2012 and supported MS SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2008R2 and 2012 instances, providing a combined OLTP and OLAP processing architecture across state data sources. The initiative covered ETL pipeline design, multidimensional analysis, and enterprise reporting workflows to support cross functional reporting needs.
The project configured core Microsoft BI components and development artifacts, including stored procedures, views, complex T SQL queries, and dynamic SSIS packages. Microsoft BI (SSRS, SSAS, SSIS, SQL Server Reporting) was used to build SSIS packages with containers, variables, and transformations such as Conditional Split, Lookup, Merge Join, Aggregate and Fuzzy Grouping to move data from OLTP systems into staging and into data marts. SSAS cubes were designed on a star schema to hold summary data for dashboards, with MDX used for analytical queries, and SSRS reports were developed with drill down, drill through, parameterized controls and scheduled delivery.
Integrations and data movement patterns were explicitly implemented, including SSIS and T SQL procedures to transfer data from OLTP databases to a staging area and then into data marts, and packages that moved data from VSAM to SQL Server instances. Reporting consumed both OLTP and OLAP sources, and operations leveraged tools and utilities such as T SQL, SQL Profiler, SQL Server Configuration Tools, Toad for SQL Server, SQL Compare, Erwin Data Modelling Tool, XPath, Tortoise SVN and TFS for source control and deployment. The team also interfaced with a Hyperion upgrade project to identify and resolve cross platform risks and coordinate data consolidation activities.
Governance and operational controls were formalized through change management, documented SQL scripts, database change request scheduling, and setup of test and QA environments cloned from production. Backup strategies were scripted and tested, including automated online daily backups and automated flat file data loading scripts, while monitoring processes tracked full and incremental SSAS cube loads and SSIS job execution. Work was executed in a Waterfall environment with responsibilities spanning requirement analysis, unit and functional integration testing, and coordination with DBAs for deployments.
Implementation activities emphasized applying best practices for performance and data integrity, automating manual processes, and creating documentation to maintain security and change traceability. The solution development included report model creation and SSRS server deployment, ongoing support of scheduled reports for daily weekly monthly and quarterly needs, and operational monitoring to surface and address load and process issues as they occurred.
