Nevada adds AI to core ERP

Nevada says it has finished adding artificial intelligence tools to CORE.NV, the state’s enterprise resource-planning system that runs back-office finance and human resources work. (x.com) CORE.NV is Nevada’s statewide effort to replace older human resources and financial systems with one integrated platform. The state says the project is meant to create a single set of books across agencies and improve real-time reporting. (core.nv.gov; leg.state.nv.us) Nevada’s Office of Project Management describes CORE.NV as a move from outdated human resources and finance software to a statewide enterprise resource-planning system. Enterprise resource planning software is the bookkeeping and personnel backbone many large organizations use to handle payroll, budgeting, procurement, and records in one place. (core.nv.gov; govtech.com) The state had already been modernizing that backbone before this artificial intelligence step. Nevada announced completion of Phase 1A of CORE.NV on January 30, 2025, and State Chief Information Officer Timothy Galluzi said then that the financial module had become fully operational in 15 months. (govtech.com) Nevada’s 2025 legislative budget materials said CORE.NV was replacing a 25-year-old financial and human resources system. Those same documents said the project was intended to increase statewide productivity and improve decision-making on resource allocation. (leg.state.nv.us) The vendor behind the modernization is CGI Technologies and Solutions. CGI said in April 2024 that Nevada chose its cloud-based CGI Advantage platform, and the company said the software would include artificial-intelligence-powered monitoring and automation for critical functions. (prnewswire.com) By December 4, 2025, CGI said Nevada had launched modernized human resources and payroll systems through CORE.NV, replacing a 25-year-old legacy platform. CGI also said the system was designed to automate benefits and deduction calculations and give leaders real-time analytics for planning. (cgi.com) Nevada had been laying policy groundwork for this kind of deployment since at least 2024. The state’s artificial intelligence policy says the Office of the Chief Information Officer oversees implementation and compliance, and it requires privacy, security, reliability, transparency, and human oversight. (it.nv.gov) Nevada also held a State Artificial Intelligence Roundtable in Carson City on September 6, 2024, focused on how artificial intelligence could change government operations and public services. Galluzi was listed as a participant, alongside officials from the Governor’s Finance Office, the University of Nevada, Reno, and outside groups. (it.nv.gov) What stands out in Nevada’s announcement is where the technology landed. Instead of a public chatbot or a stand-alone pilot, the state says artificial intelligence is now inside the software that handles the routine work of paying employees, tracking finances, and running administrative operations.
