2110 Attachment 5 Reference REVISED.docx

This is a Reference Requirements attachment (Attachment 6) for a Request for Proposals issued by Kenosha County, Wisconsin for a Microsoft ERP Upgrade project. The document establishes mandatory submission requirements for prospective bidders to demonstrate relevant experience and capability. Proposers must submit at least five references for past projects involving comparable products and services, with each reference requiring specific information including the client name, project manager contact details, software program and version used, project summary, employee count, and operating budget size. The attachment specifies that references must document implementation of Microsoft ERP solutions with particular emphasis on financials modules, and bidders must indicate which functionalities were installed, including options for Financials, Human Resources/Payroll, and Procurement.

The reference submission format requires detailed disclosure of the technology deployment method used on past projects, with options including On-Premise, Hosted Private Cloud, or Cloud Multi-Tenant environments. Additionally, proposers must provide comprehensive implementation information for each reference project, including project duration, initial go-live date, their specific role on the project, challenges encountered, and major accomplishments achieved. This detailed reference requirement ensures that Kenosha County can evaluate bidder experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementations, system integrations with third-party platforms such as UKG, and the ability to manage complex ERP upgrades within defined timelines. The evaluation of references directly supports the County's objective to upgrade its Microsoft AX application to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Cloud with a target completion date of fall 2022.
