About The Position
The Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma (TRS) is modernizing its systems by replacing legacy platforms with a new, cloud-native environment hosted on Azure. This initiative, named MyPAS 3.0, aims to integrate seamlessly with existing systems like MyTRS and MyERS. TRS serves over 210,000 members, making it the largest state pension system in Oklahoma. The modernization addresses challenges such as fragmented workflows, manual processes, limited scalability, and stability issues. The new technology stack includes Angular, REST APIs, Azure SQL Managed Instances, Azure Function Apps, Power BI, and a document management solution. The project involves migrating legacy systems to the Azure cloud, modernizing the member portal, and supporting both legacy and new systems concurrently. The goal is to have all major systems operating on Azure with improved performance, scalability, and maintainability, while also retiring the ALICE platform and reducing technical debt. Expected outcomes include reduced manual work, fewer errors, improved turnaround times, enhanced security, better user satisfaction, greater operational resilience, and lower maintenance costs.
