SOLUTION SUMMARY

The rationale behind this product is to offer PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM), the world's leading HCM system to the Mid-Market at a competitive license fee with a fixed implementation cost. In order to do this we have set out a templated solution based on the vanilla code base which we implement according to a fixed scope in a fixed price. Crocus Consulting have been implementing PeopleSoft HCM for a number of years now so we have a deep understanding how companies in the Financial Services sector typically use the system. From there we have developed a template for the configuration that we can deploy quickly and easily.

SOLUTION PROFILE

The basic framework behind the proposed approach to Simply PeopleSoft HR is comprised of the following elements

• Competitive License
• Best Practice HR configuration
• Cut down facilities using security profiles
• Pre written data conversion package (optional)
• Fixed price consulting

The principle is that the system will be delivered configured for key processes, such as hiring, to work according to standard industry best practice. The customer will be trained to use the system as delivered to perform their business processes. Where gaps are identified, the business process is challenged, i.e. if the existing process doesn't fit to best practice then why not? This is the reverse of the common implementation method of finding out what the users do today, what they want and then tailoring the system to match. This is a far more time consuming and expensive approach

Crocus have taken the latest version (9.0) of PeopleSoft HCM and configured it according to standard industry best practice.

Services included in the fixed cost are:

• Installation of system, including demo and dev environments
• Application of pre-configuration data to dev system
• Data load of employee data (if required)
• Configure self service
• User training
• System test
• User acceptance test
• Go-live

Functionality offered 'out of the box' is as follows:

• Workforce Administration
• Administer Training
• Recruit Workforce
• Monitor Absence
• Manager Self Service
• Employee Self Service
• Reporting

For companies that require additional data conversion, Crocus has developed its own accelerator software called AccelerData. This links directly into PeopleSoft via component interfaces through the application server allowing us to map client data into PeopleSoft programmatically through the 'front-end'. Thus we have a tool that enables us to convert client data quickly and easily into PeopleSoft using a method that inherently preserves the business validation built into the PeopleSoft system
