As a result of the Department’s efforts to re‑engineer and modernize core financial systems, there have been over 1,500 computing assets identified as performing some level of financial planning, analysis, and management functionality that are impacted by the State of Florida’s accounting system. The Florida Planning, Accounting, and Ledger Management (PALM) project is a multiyear endeavor to replace the State of Florida’s accounting and cash management systems with a modern financial management solution.

The Florida PALM Project is targeted to replace Central, Payroll, and Departmental FLAIR functionality, with go‑live scheduled for July 1, 2026.

Modifications to the Department’s computing assets are necessary to align with the Florida PALM solution and are essential to the continuity of FDOT business. The selected candidate will be assigned initially to analyzing and documenting the Department’s payroll distribution process and the Florida PALM project’s reengineering of journal vouchering processes impact on critical business functions, supporting business processes, and related computing assets.

Additional focus will be on analyzing related financial planning and analysis systems and dependent business processes owned by the Department and assisting in re‑engineering in areas impacted by the Florida PALM Standardized Business Process Model and redeveloped interfaces. As part of this effort, a fit‑gap determination must be made comparing the Department’s computing assets functional scope with the Florida PALM Standardized Business Process Model to recommend those assets that may be decommissioned and addressed with the functionality within the Florida PALM solution.
