PeopleSoft 8.9 HCM Upgrade
TSGi was brought onto this project to support our client’s recent upgrade of their PeopleSoft HCM system. At the time, they were using version 8.0 and the cost of continuing support was becoming substantial. TSGi was selected as a reliable partner to ensure operations went smoothly during and after the upgrade.
The upgrade focused on migrating from Tools 8.18 to 8.47 and Applications 8.0 to 8.9. This was primarily a technical upgrade with limited new functionality. This ensured that the upgrade processed smoothly and was implemented on time
We were primarily involved in upgrading SQR’s to the 8.9 table structures and making functional changes as required based on the delivered table changes and new tables being added. All changes were documented and presented for peer review in a group setting. In addition, we helped create and run data validation scripts against the 8.0 tables. This allowed us to establish baseline counts and then run again against the 8.9 upgraded tables to ensure that data conversion occurred correctly. All discrepancies were researched to determine if the count differences were correct.
As a result of our efforts.the client received experienced Squires Group personnel with in-depth knowledge of the planned PeopleSoft and PeopleTools upgrades. We not only accomplished our upgrade tasks but also contributed to the necessary system enhancements. Once the system was upgraded, tax updates were received on a regular basis. These timely tax updates allowed the payroll system for 70,000 employees/contractors to run smoothly. Our efforts also resulted in the development of a custom Leave Accrual module to meet the new legislation requirements in San Francisco, CA.
