MCD's Oracle Governmental Financial (OGF) System is a series of programs used to maintain financial records and full support for general ledger, requisitioning, payables and related functions within MCD.  OGF is a software package purchased from Oracle Corporation.  The OGF software system is comprised of the following three major applications:
<p>
Oracle Government General Ledger
Oracel Government Purchasing
Oracle Government Payables
</p>
OGF replaced the former MCD Financial Records System (FRS) which was purchased from Information Associates in 1983.  Maricopa had applied extensive customizations to our former FRS.   The underlying product is Oracles relational database system operating on A DEC UNIX server.

Oracle's OGF software is Y2K ready, when MCD installs the 10.7 version of the software.  MCD and Oracle are curently in the process of scheduling and completing this activity.  Completion of Y2K ready OGF is anticipated prior to any negative Y2K impacts to Maricopa services based on OGF required perfromance.
