Astute has developed this proposal based on our expertise and experience in PeopleSoft and our successful PeopleSoft re-implementation readiness assessments and our deep expertise in PeopleSoft re-implementation projects.
Assessment For Peoplesoft Implementation
Astute's Health Check Assessment provides an outside perspective to clients who are interested in aligning IT goals with business objectives and who want to deliver value-added solutions as part of an re-implementation.
The main objectives of a Health Check are:
Business Needs Analysis:

Technical Analysis:
Analyze whether the appropriate technical implementation details of the current PeopleSoft FSCM V9.2 application, understand the level of customization and gather documentation and information from Healthcare Client IT and Business to further qualify and define existing customizations
