Health Check Assessment For PeopleSoft ERP
Overview
Astute's PeopleSoft Health Check
Astute Business Solutions is pleased to submit our proposal to Healthcare Client (“Healthcare Client” and “Client”) for a PeopleSoft 9.2 Re-Implementation Assessment (“The Assessment”) services. In several meetings with Healthcare Client over the phone, Astute Business Solutions has obtained a high level understanding of Healthcare Client’s business requirements and has reflected those needs in our proposal. Astute has also taken into consideration its vast experience in helping clients implement PeopleSoft Financials and Supply Chain management solutions to international organizations and brought forth that experience into the contents of this proposal. Astute has developed this proposal based on our expertise and experience in PeopleSoft and our successful PeopleSoft re-implementation readiness assessments and our deep expertise in PeopleSoft re-implementation projects.
Assessment For Peoplesoft Implementation
Astute's Health Check Assessment provides an outside perspective to clients who are interested in aligning IT goals with business objectives and who want to deliver value-added solutions as part of an re-implementation.
The main objectives of a Health Check are:
Business Needs Analysis:
Analyze what underlying strategic and tactical business goals and objectives are driving the development of the re-implementation and re-implementation efforts, including whether executive sponsorship and funding are available. Analyze recommendations made by the Healthcare Client on business process changes aimed at improving organizational efficiency in the areas of procurement, finance and supply chain.
Organizational Analysis:
Analyze the existing business and technical organizational structures including the level of IT/business partnering in place, the organization's culture and leadership style, its understanding of business intelligence concepts, whether roles and responsibilities have been established, and whether people with the appropriate amount of time and skills are in place.
Technical Analysis:
Analyze whether the appropriate technical implementation details of the current PeopleSoft FSCM V9.2 application, understand the level of customization and gather documentation and information from Healthcare Client IT and Business to further qualify and define existing customizations

What Our Customers Are Saying

Gain Peace of the Mind with OCI
“We found Astute as one of the strongest companies that not only deals with one of the projects but the somebody who works alongside us during the journey to overcome the hurdles of the project, as well as gives us the technical advice, educates us in the process, and the one whom we can rely on in this process. We have implemented the PeopleSoft Application to the Cloud solution and Astute’s Managed Services. And we continue to modernize our application with Oracle Cloud services.”

Seamless Migration to Oracle with No Impact on End Users
“One of the biggest challenges that we were facing was the end of life on a number of servers in our Data Center, and we no longer have to provide hardware solutions as we are a leading provider of Pawn services. Transitioning into Oracle in this critical situation helped us resolve this challenge, especially our PeopleSoft applications into the Cloud, which was a great win as it was a seamless migration with no impact on end users."
Darren McDaniel
- Senior Director, Application Development, EZCORP
Utilizing Cloud Infrastructure for Right-Sizing
“In less time, we moved our finance systems from Oracle EBS to Oracle Cloud, student information to Education Cloud Infrastructure, building and maintenance services, and Amazon Web Services. Now, we are moving our PeopleSoft systems into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. One of the reasons for Cloud Migration is that updates happen over time and gradually. Meanwhile, patches had become easy to implement and adapt.”
