The Challenge
Business
More Efficient Operation
The business would like to make operations more efficient by moving much of the procedural work around the contract lifecycle into the supply chain process, who would be responsible to coordinate contract lifecycle efforts between SCCA and external teams.
- Streamline business processes throughout the contract lifecycle
- Strengthen the financial control environment
- Reduce labor expense through automation
Technology
Consolidated Support
The technology group desires to show cost savings by reducing the number of applications for which they are paying maintenance, to provide better support through a dedicated PeopleSoft support team rather than the general IT backbone, and to show greater value for the PeopleSoft solution by utilizing delivered workflow and module integrations.
- Reduce the number of systems in the application portfolio
- Provide better service and support to the business
- Expand utilization of PeopleSoft approval workflow
The Solution
Adoption of Leading Practices
The SCCA team retained Astute Business Solutions to assist them with understanding their current business practices surrounding contract lifecycle management and to map a path to a more streamlined, industry-standard approach to contract management.
Understanding the role and function of Sourcing and where it fits in the business process
Creation of a cross-functional alliance between sourcing, legal, and purchasing teams
Utilization of electronic workflow to drive efficiency in approval processes
Standardization of process surrounding the use and approval of contracts
Exploration of the Modern PeopleSoft Ecosystem
A detailed list of requirements was created in order to map functionality from SCCA’s legacy contract system to the features of the PeopleSoft Supplier Contracts module. This work informed the team with regard to areas for improvement, and process changes that would need to occur, and areas where efficiencies would be gained.
Configuration and Personalization over Customization
Ability to utilize PeopleSoft’s newer features to meet business requirements (page and field configurator, AWE)
Utilization of work centers to drive the day-to-day contract work of the team
Implementation of delivered service level agreements to ensure contract compliance
