Sarah Gigous, Director of the Office of Systems Management within the Department of Administration, announced at the November 13, 2014, ASTRA meeting that hosting of the SMART, SHaRP and Oracle Business Intelligence reporting systems will be transitioned to Sierra-Cedar, Inc. over the course of the next year. While the impact of the hosting will not directly affect the agencies or work processes, the State of Kansas will no longer house or maintain the technical infrastructure required to support the PeopleSoft software.
Also announced was the start of the upgrade of the SMART system from PeopleSoft Financials 9.0 to version 9.2.
