SWIFT Project
The SWIFT Project is developing a replacement for the state's obsolete
accounting and procurement systems, called MAPS. This new web-based system
will:
- Improve effectiveness and efficiency in administrative support areas;
- Eliminate redundant tasks in administrative support areas
- Change administrative and business process activities from the current
silo-based system to one in which coordination of these activities are
supported through shared and integrated information; and
- Enable supervisors and managers to make decisions based on information
that is current (real-time!) and accurate.
The new system has a "go-live" date of July 1, 2011.
This website will serve as a common location for SWIFT
Project materials for small agencies, boards and commissions with a business
relationship with Admin.
