Emory University heavily customized their existing version of PeopleSoft Financials 9.0 when it was implemented five years ago. A major goal for their PeopleSoft 9.2 upgrade was to optimize their investment in the system and take advantage of improved PeopleSoft functionality while heavily reducing the number of customizations needed for their system. Learn first-hand from Emory, and consulting partner – Elire, on the upgrade techniques, methodology, approach, business process re-engineering, change management process, and other tools used to successfully reduce Emory’s customizations by 50-60% as part of their successful 9.2 Upgrade.

Now live on 9.2, Emory is fully prepared to take on PeopleSoft Selective Adoption and PeopleSoft Update Manager using the tools and approach learned during their 9.2 upgrade. Whether your organization has upgraded to PeopleSoft 9.2 or not, you will learn valuable lessons from this highly successful 9.2 upgrade.

Whether attendees are planning a 9.2 upgrade, are currently upgrading to 9.2, or have already gone live on 9.2, they will find value in the experiences shared by Emory and Elire. Session attendees will learn the gravity of planning ahead (whether that is for an upgrade or PUM), how a strong relationship with your partner can enhance your PeopleSoft investment, the importance of leveraging a successful change management program and business process reengineering transformation effort, and the imperative tools and approach used to reduce customizations and risk around Emory’s utilization of PeopleSoft.
