FCC is requesting information from vendors to identify potential solutions to improve or implement an enhanced Financial Services technology platform environment. FCC’s overall objective is to streamline, automate and integrate processes and technologies together to increase efficiency within FCC’s financial functions.

FCC’s current challenges are the lack of automated integration between systems, manual calculations and data manipulation and the manual creation and generation of monthly financial reports.  FCC is looking to improve system integration, reduce manual intervention and streamline and automate monthly reporting.

Pending the outcome of this RFI, FCC may choose to proceed with the issuance of an RFP.
