Hello!!

I am working as the Sr. HR of a software solutions company situated in Delhi. I was looking for openings in HR for various big organizations, and they look for people with experience or knowledge of PeopleSoft. Can someone help me in understanding PeopleSoft? Or provide me with links so that I can gain a fair knowledge of what PeopleSoft is.

Help would be really appreciated.

Thanks and Regards, Rupali :)

HI Rupali..

PeopleSoft, Inc. was a software company that provided HRM (human resource management), CRM (customer relationship management), Manufacturing, Financials, EPM (Enterprise Performance Management) and Student Administration software solutions to large corporations, governments, and organizations. Founded in 1987 by David Duffield and Ken Morris, originally headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, and eventually Pleasanton, California, PeopleSoft's roots began with an idea Duffield had about a "Client-Server" (then a new concept) version of Integral Systems's popular mainframe HRMS package. Once Integral declined development and released Duffield to pursue this endeavor on his own, PeopleSoft was born. In 2003, when PeopleSoft acquired J.D. Edwards, it decided to differentiate its former product line with those of Edwards by renaming both products. PeopleSoft's original flagship product was rebranded as PeopleSoft Enterprise. J.D. Edwards' ERP product was rebranded as PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne. In January 2005, PeopleSoft was acquired in a hostile takeover by the Oracle Corporation. This takeover was resisted by PeopleSoft but Oracle overcame the legal challenge and after the approved merger, PeopleSoft ceased to be an independent company, although its products continue to be used by thousands of companies.

Both the Enterprise and EnterpriseOne products are considered ERP systems and modularized into specific components: HRMS (including payroll, human resources, benefits, etc.), Financials (including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Asset Management, EPM, etc), Manufacturing (including inventory, purchasing, billing, order management, production management, cost management), Student Administration, and CRM (including helpdesk, support, and sales). PeopleSoft is well known for its ability to be easily customized, or tailor-made, to fit the specific business needs of each client, while still being generic enough to meet corporate and governmental tracking requirements. Its detractors decry the frequent bugs found in the system, which required patches and fixes. PeopleSoft — like most large software companies — spawned an industry-within-an-industry of PeopleSoft consulting, the implementation and maintenance of the product.

So can understand taht its a software similar to SAP, so they are just asking whether you have worked on SAP or have any informations on the same..

Hope it will help you to get teh things understand..

Amit Seth.

Hi Rupali and all,

While doing works, I just went through some presentations on ERP or SAP/PeopleSoft that were submitted by some trainees to us. Here are some of the important points that would help a little bit more to understand ERP:

A business management system that integrates all facets of the business, including planning, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. As the ERP methodology has become more popular, software applications have emerged to help business managers implement ERP in activities such as inventory control, order tracking, customer service, finance, and human resources. Typically, an ERP system uses or is integrated with a relational database system.

HR is one of the application modules of the system:

Human resource management
- Staff management
- Human resource management

It covers the entire HR functions.

Sr. No. Functions of HR

1 Employee Information Management
2 Shift Maintenance
3 Attendance Maintenance
4 Leave Management, Weekly off, compensatory off
5 Salary Generation, Late coming/early going
6 Manpower Allocation
7 Contract Labor Management
8 Apprentice Management
9 Recruitment
10 Training
11 Administration & Security
11.1 Gate entry of vehicle, manpower (staff & workers)
11.2 Night issue
12 Coordination with Govt. Authorities
13 ISO Activities
14 IR Issues
15 Hygiene and safety
15.1 Checklist for Hygiene & Safety

So, having completed ERP training provided by many institutes, you may work very easily on SAP.

Hope it is clearer for all of you.

Hi,

PeopleSoft is a vast topic. The materials that I had given you will help you to get a general idea about PeopleSoft. I need to share one more news with you: PeopleSoft Inc is no more; it was acquired by Oracle a year ago. As per my knowledge, only two big ERP companies are existing now: SAP and Oracle.

Sreejith

Dear All,

I have seen that there is a lot of confusion among the persons regarding SAP or Peoplesoft, as I am getting a number of emails regarding the same.

SAP or Peoplesoft are the companies that develop ERP systems, and HR is one of the modules of these systems. Most companies are now implementing this ERP system in their organizations to run the business processes smoothly.

Having knowledge to work on SAP or Peoplesoft software can give an HR professional an advantage over others. I don't know of any institute in Delhi, but it is true that there are some institutes providing such training. I have heard of one in Hyderabad that you can find through a search.

However, going directly to learn the system without any experience or knowledge of HR would not be fruitful. These training programs teach you how to work on the software and manage data and information within the application but do not cover HR functions.

I hope this is clear to all.

Regards,

Amit Seth.

Hey Amit,

Thanks for the great help in providing the details regarding PeopleSoft. Can you also please tell me of some private institutes offering SAP in Delhi? As my budget for this is not very high, can't go for institutes like Siemens, etc.

Dear Anu,

I have heard that the cost of these ERP programs ranges from 50k to 1 lac. Is it true, and what are the chances of getting into a good company with an ERP background and little knowledge? Do these big companies still look for regular MBA candidates if you have ERP knowledge but have completed a DLP-based PG?
