RD461 - Personnel Management Information System (PMIS) Migration - October 2015 Status Report


Executive Summary:
DHRM was appropriated monies to migrate its mission critical Personnel Management Information System (PMIS) to a Windows SQL Server environment.

Following are key events that have transpired in the migration process:

August 2014 - February 2015

VITA (Virginia Information Technology Agency) and DHRM collaborated to develop and issue an RFP for mainframe migration services. In February 2015, VITA awarded a contract to Fujitsu America for these services. DHRM executed a Statement of Work (SOW) under this contract to migrate DHRM’s systems. The migration is a “like for like” migration. This type of migration preserves the look, feel and functionality of the existing mainframe systems while enabling them to run in a modern Windows environment. DHRM formally launched a project to manage the migration effort.

March 2015 - Current

Fujitsu has been and continues to migrate DHRM’s mainframe systems to run in DHRM’s Windows SQL Server environment. DHRM is testing the migrated systems to verify that they function like their mainframe predecessors.
