Mainframe Rehosting Project
The Department of Retirement Systems will use this one-time funding to complete its mainframe re-hosting project. The 2019 Legislature authorized funding to migrate legacy systems from mainframe technology to a new cloud-based platform. The request for proposal for a re-hosting vendor revealed that the price for these services exceeds the cost estimate, which was based on market research. This funding is needed to implement the re-hosting project. These systems maintain information for approximately 760,000 current and former public employees and are the tools used to calculate and distribute over $5 billion in payments each year. (Deferred Compensation Admin Account - Non-Appropriated, Dept of Retirement Systems Expense - State, OASI Revolving Account - Non-Appropriated)
