Cumberland County sets target Nov. 10 go‑live for Infor CloudSuite financial system
Summary
County finance staff told the Cumberland County Finance Committee the Infor CloudSuite financial migration is largely complete by task count, with final user testing, training and a planned Nov. 10 cutover; RPI will provide on-site support during go‑live and the human‑resources/payroll module will follow in a second phase targeting Jan. 2027.
Cumberland County Finance Committee members received an update on the county’s migration to the Infor CloudSuite financial system and were told project work is nearing completion by task count and a cutover is targeted for early November.
Beth Chornack, a project presenter, told the committee that recent system integration testing had brought more county staff into scenario testing and produced additional setup items for the project team to address. “It’s actually been closer to 4 months,” she said of the work since the last update. John Crystal, also a presenter, summarized the project’s progress: task-based completion is about 95%, but “based on the time percentage included with that, we’re only 62% of the way to go.”
The project team said testing is taking place in separate environments: a production instance that is not modified for testing, a test system where system integration and user acceptance testing occur, and a training system used for end-user instruction. County staff described three more scheduled data migrations before cutover: one for user-acceptance testing, one for end-user training and a final go-live migration. User-acceptance testing is expected to begin in August and run into September, with end-user training planned for September and October.
Project leads described a cutover plan that addresses when data will be migrated and when staff will be locked out of the legacy system. The county’s current target for the go‑live and start of post‑go‑live support is “around Nov. 10,” a Monday chosen to allow staff time before the Nov. 11 holiday. Presenters said RPI, the vendor, will be on site to support the county during go‑live and through the remainder of the project.
County staff said phase 1 of the project covers the financial modules; phase 2 will bring human‑capital management (HCM) and payroll. The project team plans to introduce phase 2 in July and is targeting a phase‑2 go‑live in January 2027. Presenters said lease accounting was an item added to phase 1 during implementation and that they were not aware of additional financial modules to be added to phase 1.
Committee members and finance staff described the schedule as reasonable. A presenter noted the earlier timeline planned a cutover later in the year, and advancing the date provides time on the new system before year‑end close. Presenters also said the training system will allow the county to separate training activity from testing activity, avoiding the need to copy production data into test environments for training.
The committee took routine procedural actions before and after the presentation: it approved the minutes of the June 18 meeting and approved the consent agenda by voice vote (voice vote: ayes). There were no public commenters at the start of the meeting. The committee adjourned following the presentation and questions.
The update focused on implementation logistics, testing and training; no budget reauthorizations, ordinance actions or formal policy decisions were taken at the meeting.
