Title: Simplifying the PeopleSoft-Maximo Integration – a Best Practice Approach
Presenter: Ed Bouryng, President, Metaformers
Abstract:
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) relies on the PeopleSoft solution for Finance and Procurement and on the Maximo system for Work Orders, Inventory, and for Management of Bus and Rail assets. Integrating PeopleSoft and Maximo is an integration of vastly different business processes creating organizational, cultural, and political barriers in addition to technical barriers. Metaformers was charged with the task of a best practice integration and it was achieved in full partnership with the executive team. This session will layout the best practice approach to the PeopleSoft-Maximo integration taken at WMATA and discuss the challenges faced and solutions applied.
