How does Kastech provide PeopleSoft Optimization Services?

Prioritizing features and functionality requirements into an optimization roadmap that aligns with your organizational objectives and challenges.

Executive Strategy Workshop

Planning and executing a one-day Executive Strategy Workshop (ESW) to align your goals and objectives with the optimization initiative is the first step. The ESW involves your key leadership, including departments and business functions, and identifies and documents current challenges. During ESW, we develop key objectives for the various departments designed to overcome those challenges. We also collectively prioritize those objectives and define success measurements.

Functional Optimization Analysis

PeopleSoft functional experts are engaged to execute the detailed optimization analysis. We investigate the current use of the PeopleSoft software within your organization and determine whether the applications are being used to their full potential and value. All potential projects are also classified into short, medium & long-term recommendations based on the business benefit & feasibility, ensuring each project supports one or more of the key identified objectives from the Executive Strategy Workshop.

Optimization Roadmap

Once the analysis is complete, we work with you to identify the top 5 to 10 opportunities for optimization. We create an optimization roadmap,
documenting the various projects, timelines and effort associated with each recommendation. We design the roadmap to meet the stated objectives from the Executive Strategy Workshop; therefore, with each optimization, we enhance the system functionality, increase employee satisfaction and improve the overall capabilities of the organization.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is optimization a preferred choice for an increasing number of organizations that are currently using PeopleSoft ERP systems?

For many, the optimization path offers significantly more business value. PeopleSoft 9.2, with the many PeopleSoft HCM and FSCM Image updates that have been released over the past years, offers brand-new rich functionality well beyond what was offered in the initial version of PeopleSoft 9.2. When combined with the newest technology features of PeopleTools, organizations are finding they can exceed their business users’ expectations at a fraction of the cost and effort of a new solution.

The primary priorities are as follows:

  • Understanding key departmental challenges in support of the overall identified challenges from ESW.
  • Determining if standard features and functionality of the current software solution are being utilized fully and if there is functionality within the core product which can be deployed that offers additional business benefit.
  • Determining if owned, unused modules present significant business value to the organization if implemented.
  • Reviewing the latest PUM Image of your application to determine how it will provide business value if deployed.
  • Classifying each of the potential projects into short, medium and long-term recommendations based upon business value, feasibility,and alignment with the key objectives from the Executive Strategy Workshop.

The optimization workshop varies in duration based on the number of modules and size of your organization but typically is executed in a matter of several weeks. Deliverables include a thoroughly documented optimization analysis which provides recommended “miniprojects” that implement the PeopleSoft features and functionality to improve your organization’s business processes.
