Summary

State Accounting Officer Gerald de Hines told the committee that Georgia is replacing its 25+-year ERP and has pushed the go-live from April to July 1, 2026, primarily to accommodate GDOT customizations, and recommended $10,379,589 to maintain TeamWorks support for the Department of Transportation during the transition.

Gerald de Hines, the State Accounting Officer, told the Appropriations subcommittee the state has been working since 2020 to replace an aging enterprise resource planning system (TeamWorks) with a modern platform called Georgia at Work.

De Hines said the project now includes more than 355 project staff from the State Accounting Office, the Department of Administrative Services and many agency subject-matter experts. He said training is scheduled to begin March 2, with cutover activities starting in May, and the go-live date moved from April 1, 2026 to July 1, 2026 "due to fine tuning needs for GDOT," which requires customizations to meet federal requirements.

To bridge the extended timeline, the governor’s recommendation includes one-time funds of $10,379,589 to keep TeamWorks operational for the Georgia Department of Transportation until GDOT’s Georgia at Work deployment is ready. "This will support keeping TeamWorks up for GDOT," De Hines said.

De Hines closed by thanking committee members for their support and invited questions about the timeline and implementation plans. No formal appropriation vote was held at this hearing; the presentation will feed into ongoing budget negotiations.
