Managers: ConnectND PeopleSoft Projects
Business Intelligence PeopleSoft Project (BIPP)
Imagine being able to search PeopleSoft financial and HR information in an easy-to-use format. BIPP will help us "slice and dice" PeopleSoft financial and HR data easily. This information can be set up as a dashboard, which is essentially a web page that illustrates information, perhaps in graph or chart form, and can be configured to show things you may be interested in tracking.
Managers will be able to drill down into data for specific information on such things as people, costs, dates, etc. This project is on track to be implemented in late 4th quarter of 2009.

Enterprise Learning Management (ELM)
In November 2008, ELM was purchased as the State’s enterprise solution for managing learning. Implementing this project will provide an enterprise solution and upgrade to PeopleSoft Training Administration, which is currently in use. It will provide an online, self service, administrative employee training platform and tracking system.
ELM is an internet-based training management solution that will allow agencies to manage their learning information in a central location. It has the potential for users to sign up for classes three ways: through employee self service which will automatically route to supervisors for approval, through manager self service where managers will be able to sign up employees, or by someone else the manager has identified to enroll learners. Agencies will have the ability to upload online, web-based, and instructor-led training and information.
The vendor, Maximus, has been selected to implement PeopleSoft ELM. Implementation will take approximately 23 weeks beginning in late July, with a go-live planned for late December 2009.

User Productivity Kit (UPK)
UPK is a simple tool used to record the navigation of a PeopleSoft or non-PeopleSoft application. The business process of using the tool would be: an agency lead would work in a PeopleSoft application or other application and click the record button, and UPK would record what they are doing. This is called creating content. Those clicks, navigation, and things being filled out would be recorded as a job aid for the transaction once they are published to the system.
A person that is learning a PeopleSoft application could then click on the help icon and UPK would be there to show them what to do to complete the task by replaying the recorded content such as (Enter employee ID here), (Enter invoice number here), etc. This tool also has the capacity to record audio to supplement training and task completion. We will be using UPK within the ELM project to develop training materials for that deployment, and it will shorten the overall implementation time of the ELM project.
This tool is being used at this time. The UPK user group meets on a monthly basis.
