Specifications include, but are not limited to: Due to the magnitude of customizations, the State has not been able to implement the expanded HCM functionality since version 8.9. As a result, modules are missing numerous enhancements and software “bug” fixes which prevent SOI from moving forward with critical solutions and infrastructure updates and improvements. The SOI needs to transition to the most current PeopleSoft HCM version which provides the functionality required to eliminate unnecessary customizations and facilitate streamlined and efficient HR and Payroll processes throughout State government. To avoid falling into the same update problems described previously, a sustainable resource plan for implementing updates and expanded functionality as they become available is required. PeopleSoft is the statewide ERP solution for HR, Supply Chain and Finance functions. All state employees, contractors and parties paid by the Auditor of the State or Benefits managed by State Personnel will be housed and processed in PeopleSoft 9.2. Part of our strategy for upgrade and the implementation of Payroll is to enable our users the ability to do more through self-service and mobile functionality. All transactions related to these core functions are to be performed in PeopleSoft as our system of record. Several key modules of SuccessFactors are being implemented to streamline some of the areas in HR around talent for agencies that are centrally managed by the State Personnel Department. These modules will be used as bolt-on, front-end applications for several key business functions in HR. An integral part of success in these areas is a seamless integration between PeopleSoft HCM and SuccessFactors.
