PeopleSoft Enterprise Implementation and Upgrade Services

Our practical knowledge of the PeopleSoft applications helps your institution mitigate project risk and focus on ultimate strategic objectives. The implementation approach we use is specifically tailored to the PeopleSoft Enterprise in higher education.

The six-stage methodology promotes management, communication, and alignment with the strategic objectives of your institution:

Stage 1: Strategy/Assessment In this initial stage, we define the basic framework for the implementation. This includes the charter, scope, budget, expectations, personnel, timeline, and infrastructure required to successfully complete the project. We first assess the business practices and workflows already in place; then conduct a fit-gap analysis to recommend modifications, if any, for a successful PeopleSoft implementation.   We will recommend the most effective use of your current resources to better support your institution during the busiest registration and enrollment periods, in addition to daily institutional transactions and business processing.

Stage 2: Planning

The Planning stage utilizes the strategy stage to formulate detailed plans and schedules of project tasks, project organization, project support structure, and pre-implementation review. This proactive approach  creates an effective, timely project plan that addresses your institution’s needs.

Stage 3: Change Management

Our Change Management philosophy successfully integrates new business processes and workflows without affecting productivity.  The transition into utilizing PeopleSoft allows for both newly enhanced functionality and removing workarounds.

Stage 4: System Installation

The culmination of the assessment and planning stages provide us with a guide for the design and construction of your database. Quantum Technology can provide remote functional or technical services during this stage, saving your institution travel costs.

Stage 5: Testing and Training

Quantum Technologies functional team members guide you through the progression of unit testing, integration testing, and regression testing to ensure that your test plans are the most effective for your business processes.  Effective testing allows your staff and end users to utilize the new functionality and process flow prior to implementation and Go-Live. 

Stage 6: Go-Live and Production Support

We provide support to your institution during and immediately following Go-Live.  This guarantees a smooth transition into PeopleSoft implementation. Depending upon your needs, our remote lab support service can provide you with a broad ‘safety net’ as you ramp up day-to-day production support.
