State Category: Analyst Technical
Statement of Work (SOW):
Assist our clients BIS Application Support area to address the project to eliminate multiple Business Units (reduce from 2 to 1) in our PeopleSoft applications:
-Human Capital Management (HCM),
-ELM (Enterprise Learning Management),
-Financials (FMS), and
-EPM (Enterprise Performance Management).
(It is anticipated that little, if any, work will be required for ELM and EPM.)
Specific deliverables with measurable outcomes that will be accomplished through this scope:
-Do investigation and determine the scope of changes needed to eliminate multiple Business Units.
-Recommend a course of action or multiple courses of action to eliminate multiple Business Units.
-Create a Project Plan with work effort (for both functional and IT areas) and calendar estimates for the project.
-(After the above items are delivered and the Client has selected its course of action, the Client may issue a second SOW for assistance with implementing the selected course of action through completion of all portions of the project.)
Skills & Abilities:
-Deep knowledge of the PeopleSoft Human Capital Management 8.9 and Financials 9.0 applications, configuration, software products, and performance toolsets
-Specific knowledge of PeopleSoft Business Unit?s functionality, processing, and data structures.
-Specific Knowledge of PeopleTools, PeopleCode, etc.
Timeline:
1. The HCM application was implemented with just one Business Unit.
2. When Financials was implemented, decision was made to implement with a second Business Unit for Boards and Agencies (Other).
3. HCM was then updated to have 2 Business Units and past history was converted to two Business Units.
4. Determined after 2 years of experience, that there is little, if any, benefit to having two Business Units, and instead the multiple processing is an added burden. The functional area would like to revert back to just one Business Unit.
Current situation:
1. The client wants to revert back to one Business Unit, with conversion of needed information and deletion of information no longer needed.
2. The client needs to produce financial and other history for reporting, auditor, and other required record keeping.
3. The client wants this done as soon as possible to reduce the work effort now needed to process with multiple Business Units.
4. The client would have ideally done this at a calendar/financial yearend (both are 12/31), but that was not possible, so research is being done to determine how this change can best be done during the middle of a year.
5. The client would like to spend as little effort as possible to revert back to one Business Unit.
