WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has taken the first step in a multi-stage process to modernize its financial and logistics computer system to better serve the nation’s veterans.
Under a project called “coreFLS,” VA will replace a diverse mixture of old-technology systems with state-of-the-art integrated software that will eventually impact the work of thousands of employees throughout VA, the federal government’s largest civilian agency.
The “coreFLS” teams, made up of management, technical, and procurement and process experts throughout VA, selected Oracle Corporation to demonstrate its software products in a pilot program this fall. If Oracle succeeds in meeting VA’s needs, VA will issue a delivery order to test its program nationwide. Assuming a successful test VA will issue a second delivery order for national implementation.
Oracle was chosen from among seven vendors based on its approach, functionality and pricing information. “CoreFLS” teams considered scalability of the software solutions, special features such as warranty and maintenance, past performance of the vendors and their software, actual operational performance and pricing.
