Oracle PeopleSoft

La facilidad para ver, manejar y cambiar informacion de los empleados en tiempo real.

Opciones que a simple vista parecen estar escondida. Pero con el tiempo se vuelve facil de usar y es muy util todas las opciones que al principio no veiamos.

The employee information and details get consolidated into one system.
Tracking time attendance, overtime became is easy and clear.
Can be integrated with the payroll system
The system is reliable and works seamlessly on Oracle servers.
The database is highly secure.

Customizing the software to fit the requirements of the HR department took over a year.
The support contract is expensive.

Very robust tools and I like the data structure. From a vanilla implementation perspective, it's very clean as an HRIS system. The modules are straightforward and there is a lot of spec documentation available.

Customization is a beast. A lot of testing involved an depending on the consultants you have, may be a pain to customize from vanilla Peoplesoft.

You can add frequently used reports or screens to your My Favorites list for easy access. The Worklist functionality makes it easy to see what PTRs (Personnel Transaction Requests) are awaiting your action.

PeopleSoft is clunky and slow. I spend so much of my day watching the blue loading icon cycle. The reports have long names that aren't very intuitive, e.g. Commit Accting Cross-Reference shows you what positions are currently assigned to a particular account.

There are hundreds of different roles to be able to view, create, and approve different requests. The role titles and descriptions are confusing, and they aren't grouped by job function. Whenever you hire a new person, it's exhausting to figure out what roles they will need to perform their job.

I used oracle when working as a buyer planner at Starbucks, I was there as it got implemented, and it made work so much easier. It simplified work and one could get things done more efficient. Instead of having to do several steps, using the program gave you the chance to do things faster and you found information in the system which also made work easier. The support was very good and always at hand.

As mentioned I was there for the implementation and it took a while to have all the tools ready and working properly. The system couldn't be used at it's full potential for a while. With the right support and with time it got solved.
