Health Check Assessment For PeopleSoft ERP

Overview

Astute's PeopleSoft Health Check

Astute Business Solutions is pleased to submit our proposal to Healthcare Client (“Healthcare Client” and “Client”) for a PeopleSoft 9.2 Re-Implementation Assessment (“The Assessment”) services. In several meetings with Healthcare Client over the phone, Astute Business Solutions has obtained a high level understanding of Healthcare Client’s business requirements and has reflected those needs in our proposal. Astute has also taken into consideration its vast experience in helping clients implement PeopleSoft Financials and Supply Chain management solutions to international organizations and brought forth that experience into the contents of this proposal. 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:
Analyze what underlying strategic and tactical business goals and objectives are driving the development of the re-implementation and re-implementation efforts, including whether executive sponsorship and funding are available. Analyze recommendations made by the Healthcare Client on business process changes aimed at improving organizational efficiency in the areas of procurement, finance and supply chain.

Organizational Analysis:
Analyze the existing business and technical organizational structures including the level of IT/business partnering in place, the organization's culture and leadership style, its understanding of business intelligence concepts, whether roles and responsibilities have been established, and whether people with the appropriate amount of time and skills are in place.

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
