Fi$Cal, the comprehensive and integrated financial application rolling out throughout California’s government, is on to another year of onboarding departments. FI$Cal is shorthand for Financial Information System for California.
The application has been incrementally onboarding agencies since July 2013.
This year will see the portal being rolled out to Government Operations Agency divisions, the Department of Business Oversight, and judicial agencies such as the Judicial Council.
In February, the Interface Support Team will work with groups such as CalFire, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Department of Health Care Services and the Office of Emergency Services.
While the project is estimated to finish in June 2019, the California Department of Technology’s Independent Project Oversight Report has warned that the timeline may need adjustment because new needs are being identified with each phase of the rollout. In response, Fi$Cal has prepared special project reports to update the scope of work as needed.
So far the total cost of the project is $910 million.
