What is the Florida PALM Project?
The Florida PALM Project is an enterprise project to replace the State of Florida’s legacy accounting, payroll, information warehouse, and cash management systems, using an enterprise resource planning solution. The replacement of the cash management systems, known as the CMS Wave, was completed in July 2021. The next major implementation, the Financials, Payroll, and Data Warehouse / Business Intelligence Wave, is currently underway and scheduled for Go-Live in January 2027. The Department of Financial Services is leading this statewide initiative, which impacts stakeholders and users of the State’s financial data, including all State agencies.

 

Who are we?
We are an innovative team of experts specializing in financial operations, business analysis, project management, change management and stakeholder relations. Working as part of the team at Florida PALM provides a great opportunity to be part of a mission-driven organization that strongly supports its employees’ professional growth and development through training opportunities and knowledge sharing. You will also be able to see your work directly supporting the transformation of business processes for the Florida State government.

 

Why work with Florida PALM?
Florida PALM is the State of Florida’s next-generation financial management platform, built on PeopleSoft, a technology that is used by national and international organizations across many industries to support a broad range of business and accounting functions.

 

Florida PALM is already a valuable part of Florida’s financial management processes. Since the CMS Wave Go-Live, the Florida PALM Solution Center has supported over 1,000 users across 35 agencies.

 

The next implementation will expand to over 3,000 users and integrate with more than 200 business systems, covering all major financial processes such as accounting, budgeting, payroll, and reporting.

 

Following this rollout, a dedicated support team will maintain and enhance the system through regular updates and new capabilities. Members of the Florida PALM Team experience valuable professional growth opportunities in areas like technology, project management, and change management – equipping them with skills that are highly transferable.
