PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Implementation
EMS Consulting-Intelligent Chaos (EMS-IC) assists Universities in implementing Campus Solutions 9.0, a comprehensive suite of software designed for the changing needs of higher education institutions. EMS-IC has the depth and breadth of experience to help higher education institutions effectively meet their business requirements by adopting best practice business processes within every implementation. EMS-IC works closely with a wide variety of colleges, universities, and university systems to develop and deliver the most responsive and comprehensive student administration system implementations possible.
New Methodology and Approach
EMS-IC specializes in implementing Oracle's PeopleSoft Campus Solutions with a new methodology that includes the Fusion Middleware platform. Our methodology begins with a fit/gap analysis, which identifies the business requirements and recommends the proper approach to integration by leveraging web services, as well as opportunities for utilizing a rich user interface that fully meets the needs of end users.
This new approach and methodology continues with an iterative design and integration phase that allows the customer to re-use a library of services throughout the implementation. This approach delivers a feature-rich student information system implementation and greatly facilitates the integration of much needed third-party applications such as learning management systems (LMS) or housing systems.
EMS-IC’s flexible and innovative SOA-based ERP implementation methodology can benefit your institution in the following ways:
- BPEL Adaptability – by using Business Process Execution Language, one of the latest tools that offers more flexibility to meet your unique workflow needs without costly customizations, you can achieve more intuitive functionality while having more choices in how you manage your institutional business processes and workflows
- Unified Front End – by using industry standard user interface tools such as Enterprise 2.0 or Adobe Flex, you can deliver enhanced collaboration to your faculty, simplify the student experience, and provide students, alumni, faculty, and staff with immediate access to real-time information
- Redefined Service Architecture – through the use of more tightly integrated information and data, you can improve interaction with, and more easily connect, third party applications, as well as reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), all while improving maintainability and customer satisfaction
- Approach to Customizations – by closely evaluating the identified gaps between desired business processes and delivered systems, and leveraging newer technologies and approaches, customizations can be created outside the ERP, streamlining maintenance and reducing upgrade costs, all while bringing your institution added value by providing a better user experience
- Technical design – by having the initial assessment set the foundations for you to leverage such tools as PeopleSoft Component Interfaces, web services, BPEL, Web 2.0, Business Intelligence, and PeopleTools 8.49/8.50, you will be able to focus your implementation on the goals of the future.
- Testing – through comprehensive integration testing between the new user interface, the enterprise applications, third party solutions, and web services components, you will better be able to perform the end-to-end testing that is necessary for a successful implementation, resulting in greater satisfaction from your users
- Technical Knowledge Transfer – with our team training your internal staff with real-time ‘shadowing’ for each university team member, at the end of the engagement your staff will be able to fully utilize and understand both the functional and technical aspects of the new software used on projects, and will be able to leverage their benefits into the future
EMS-IC has unique capabilities, as our firm leverages a decade of experience in traditional ERP implementations or upgrades and combines that knowledge with in-depth experience in the latest tools and techniques for seamless integration of enterprise applications.
