Client
The client is one of the largest healthcare service providers in the US Western region, renowned for their pediatric treatments. With presence in more than 60 locations, the client uses the most innovative digital technology and treatment equipment available to deliver exemplary pediatric and obstetric care.
Challenge
A journey with innovation at its heart
The client wanted to expand and build a state-of-the-art children’s hospital with a clear objective: to harness the full potential of cutting-edge digital technology, offering exceptional pediatric and obstetric care.
Although the journey began with a powerful vision, the existing PeopleSoft platform was like a rusty anchor, unable to keep up. The release of 9.2 added another layer of urgency as the client’s existing PeopleSoft HCM & FSCM application approached the end of its product support.
The client faced the following challenges:
Lack of User-friendly Features: The applications were outdated, with limited usability and a lack of accessibility on smart devices.
Lack of Visibility: Critical insights were concealed due to the absence of effective dashboards and analytics.
Complex Processes and Systems: The client grappled with intricate, outdated processes involving a tangle of third-party systems.
Lack of In-house Talent: The in-house team needed reinforcements to bring the digital vision to life.
Client’s Technical Environment
Human Capital Management (HCM): Core HR, eProfile, ePerformance, eCompensation, Base Benefits, Time and Labor, Payroll Interface, TAM/CG
Financial Management: GL, AP, AR, Purchasing, Asset Management, Project Costing, Inventory, Mobile Inventory
