In 2007, Texas Legislature charged the Comptroller’s office with implementing a standard enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for all state agencies. To meet this mandate, Texas Comptroller created a solution called the Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System (CAPPS), which is built on Oracle PeopleSoft financial, human resources and payroll applications. This enables Texas to reduce costs, improve system performance and allow for easier access, now and in the future.
