Job Description

Name of position: Business Analyst

Description

The Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma (TRS) is undertaking a comprehensive, multi year 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 MyTRS member portal and MyERS employer portal.

TRS serves a large and diverse membership of 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 responds to longstanding 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.

• Legacy systems moved from on-premises hosting to Azure cloud migration May 2024
• MyTRS 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

• Enhanced security posture.
• Improved user satisfaction and accessibility.

• Reduced maintenance burden, lower infrastructure costs, and fewer workarounds through modern platform infrastructure.
• All work products belong exclusively to TRS.
