UI Tax Modernization - Amendment November 17th 2010 • Project Change: Scope // Budget // Schedule • PCC Certification: Initiation & Planning Phase • Amend UI Tax Project to include UI Claims module • Request approval for release of funds: • $3,079,906 Planning Phase
Project Abstract In 2009, the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (DWS) issued an RFP to implement a new unemployment insurance (UI) tax system, with an option to implement an accompanying new UI claims system. To address ongoing technical and system performance issues with the legacy UI Claims system, DWS is recommending the expansion of the uFACTS project to include the UI Claims component with the UI Tax project.
Problems with the Legacy UI Claims Application Inadequate system architecture design with several single points of failure resulting in frequent downtime Aging technology is no longer supported by manufacturers complicating system support for IT staff. System not available to constituents and users on a 24/7 basis. Obsolete system design results in poor system performance. UI Claims system inefficiency results in manual workarounds that require additional staff resources.
