A business process review and high level business requirements were documented during the business case stage as part of the business case development and approval process.  The project initiation stage began in April 2016 with project duration of eighteen months.  The analysis, design, configuration, testing, training, and deployment of the TM1 solution to meet the client’s business requirements are included in the scope of this contract.  Other activities included in the scope of this contract include: migration from the existing Cognos Enterprise Planning (EP) tool; integration with existing Cognos BI and reporting DataMart; data migration and ETL efforts, migration work to move from one environment to another and additional TM1 activities not previously mentioned. The solution architecture for the CNSC involves a number of additional supportive services and 3rd party software tools to allow interoperability with the other CNSC systems and exchange of data. The design and implementation of those services/tools are also included in the scope of this contract.
