The client is undertaking a comprehensive, multiyear modernization initiative to replace aging legacy systems-including full retirement of the ALICE platform-and transition to a unified, cloud native environment. This effort centers on building MyPAS 3.0, a modern Azure-hosted pension administration system that integrates seamlessly with the client member portal and client employer portal.

The modernization responds to long standing challenges such as fragmented workflows, manual processes, limited scalability, and stability issues in legacy technologies. The initiative introduces a modern stack-Angular, REST APIs, Azure SQL Managed Instances, Azure Function Apps, Power BI, a document management and process automation solution (pending platform evaluation and alternatives)-to support scalable, secure, and efficient operations.

Current state:
Legacy systems moved from on-premises hosting to Azure cloud migration in May 2024
Member portal modernized July 2025
All IS resources support legacy systems while simultaneously building modernized ones
Project charter and Software Development Life Cycle established and in practice
Environment and foundation for modern applications defined and nearing completion

Expected outcomes:
All major systems operate on the Azure platform with improved performance, scalability, and maintainability.
Retirement of ALICE and elimination of legacy technical debt.
Reduced manual work, fewer errors, and significantly improved turnaround times.
A modern document storage and capture solution, with improved workflows and reduced fragmentation
Enhanced security posture.
Improved user satisfaction and accessibility.
Greater operational resilience and adaptability.
Reduced maintenance burden, lower infrastructure costs, and fewer workarounds through modern platform infrastructure.
