Welcome to PeopleSoft Financials

“PeopleSoft’s purchasing system has been a cinch! I find it to be very user friendly, and some of the information I need when working with the system is easily accessible. It also helps that the system is aesthetically well laid out.”

Sunil Kukreja, professor of comparative sociology and associate dean for 2012–13 academic year

“After all the hoopla, it is easier to use that I anticipated. Pretty straightforward and Ed Barber is great in answering questions. The new system will make it much easier for Puget Sound to know exactly how it is spending money and where to save. I also like it because it relieves me of having to be the money enforcer for grants. Much better!”

Michal Morrison-Kerr, biology stores coordinator

It was a superb week for Financials as the team worked in the live PeopleSoft environment, which is accessible from the Cascade menu. Members of the campus community submitted several requisitions to the purchasing office, and the Accounting and Budget Services team created journal entries. From Dining and Conference Services and the biology department to Facilities Services and athletics, campus members banded together to serve the university efficiently while learning this new system. Puget Sound now has a state-of-the-art platform for continual improvement on day-to-day practices.

The Campus Solutions team is in the midst of reviewing its processes and configuring PeopleSoft to fit its needs in one-on-one sessions with MIS consultants.

Human Resources is progressing through the discovery phase. Team members are exploring and recording best practices for accessing and interacting with personnel data.

Purchasing and budget administration training times are now updated. If you preregistered for a training session, you will be contacted soon by a member of the project team.

Finally PeopleSoft Mission Headquarters wants YOU! (To visit!) Visitors are welcome and encouraged. Stop by Howarth 003/005 to chat with the project team and see the computer lab.
