The City Council approved an ordinance to appropriate $2,000,000.00 from the Equipment Acquisition Consolidated Fund (1800) for the planned ERP Transformation Office project for Houston Information Technology Services (HITS). This project, budgeted in the approved FY2026 Capital Improvement Plan, will establish a dedicated ERP Transformation Office. This office will be supported by project-specific resources and staff augmentation to contribute to initiatives outlined in the HITS ERP Transformation Roadmap over the next 3 to 5 years. The initiative aims to support Finance, Human Resources, and HITS departments in maintaining daily operations while leading business process and technical changes required for ERP transformation. Funding will be primarily used for professional service resources assigned full-time to support both technical and business functions. HITS will utilize cooperative and existing contracts for the purchase of these professional services.
