Title: Business Analyst
Location: Remote with occasional onsite meetings in Oklahoma City, OK
Duration: 6+ Months
Project Background:
TRS is undertaking a multi-year modernization initiative to replace aging legacy systems, including full retirement of the ALICE platform, and move to a unified, cloud-native environment. The effort centers on building MyPAS 3.0, a modern Azure-hosted pension administration system integrated with the MyTRS member portal and MyERS employer portal. TRS serves over 210,000 employees and retirees across more than 600 school districts, career tech centers, colleges, and universities, making it the largest of Oklahoma's six state pension systems. The modernization addresses longstanding challenges, including fragmented workflows, manual processes, limited scalability, and legacy stability issues, through a modern stack of Angular, REST APIs, Azure SQL Managed Instances, Azure Function Apps, Power BI, and a document management and process automation solution currently under evaluation.
Current state: legacy systems migrated from on-premises to Azure in May 2024, and the MyTRS member portal was modernized in July 2025. IS resources currently support legacy systems while building the modernized ones. The project charter and SDLC are established and in practice, with the environment and foundation for modern applications nearing completion.
Expected outcomes: all major systems on Azure with improved performance, scalability, and maintainability; retirement of ALICE and elimination of legacy technical debt; reduced manual work, fewer errors, and faster turnaround; a modern document storage and capture solution with improved workflows; enhanced security; improved user satisfaction and accessibility; greater operational resilience; and reduced maintenance burden, infrastructure costs, and workarounds. All work products belong exclusively to TRS
