Agencies Cut Costs of PeopleSoft Implementation with Oracle’s PeopleSoft Accelerator for Public Sector
Two U.S. state governments are currently in the midst of adopting the new preconfigured PeopleSoft Accelerator for Public Sector from Oracle Consulting that promises to reduce the time and effort of statewide PeopleSoft Enterprise implementations by an average of 30 percent.

“Spurred by the chance to also see a similar reduction in implementation times, a number of other federal agencies, local governments, and K-12 school districts in the U.S. are now evaluating the accelerator approach for new PeopleSoft installations,” says Jackie Cheng, senior director of Oracle Consulting.

Oracle’s PeopleSoft Accelerator for Public Sector is a preconfigured database instance with a prepopulated set of templates for the core PeopleSoft modules designed for U.S. public sector organizations. The accelerator aggregates best practices developed during previous public sector engagements and is designed to jump-start many of the set-up routines and workflow processes that are common across the public sector.

“With preconfigured best practices we can say, ‘This approach has worked for others when they set up their chart of accounts; will this work for your operations?’” Cheng explains. “This allows public sector customers to quickly configure many of the basic elements to reduce set-up time and costs, and allow the organizations to devote more of their resources to the areas that are unique to them.”

In addition to charts of accounts, customers can also take advantage of templates for establishing procurement catalogs, purchasing workflows, and annual financial reports within PeopleSoft.

“Moreover, the preconfiguration approach also reduces risk,” Cheng says. “There are times when a customer perhaps isn’t familiar with all the inter-workings and the business flows of their systems. Because many of the basics are already preconfigured, we can help them to make better decisions about how to accomplish specific goals.”

Cheng adds that Oracle Consulting now also offers a PeopleSoft to Hyperion Integration accelerator to help public sector customers speed connections between the enterprise resource planning (ERP) and performance management systems.
