The enhanced enterprise services automation suite in Oracle's PeopleSoft family of applications, including PeopleSoft Program Management and the new Release 9.1 funds distribution features in PeopleSoft Project Costing give public sector entities better tools for managing and automating the full project lifecycle.

This session lays out the best practice approach to the structure and implementation of ESA for public sector organizations and discusses the challenges of structuring the organization to operate in a fully integrated financials environment.

Realizing Metro's Vision: Upgrade to PeopleSoft Financials/Supply Chain Management Release 9.1

Ed Bouryng, President, Metaformers
Naheed Monower, Program Manager, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) initially implemented Release 8.8 of Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise family of applications in 2005 to meet ongoing operational needs, but it continued to suffer from a lack of integration of its business processes. In 2010 Metro moved forward with an upgrade of PeopleSoft Financials/SCM applications to Release 9.1 and the strategic realignment of its business process. Metaformers presents this case study along with a Metro program manager to cover the challenges of a strategic realignment leveraging an upgrade and critical success factors for achieving an on-target result. Topics include • Project governance • Assessment and roadmap • Integrated design • Critical success factors for the upgrade effort.
