“With today’s tough job market, top IT professionals are scarce. It would have cost us more to hire and keep full-time personnel to manage the PeopleSoft system than to hire NaviSite. When looking at systems integrators, we found them to be too expensive or not open to supporting customizations critical to our business process. We felt comfortable with NaviSite and its ASP model because of the people at NaviSite, their experience and track record. They took the time to understand how our business works.”

Challenge
- It is not easy for employees to enter information into the system. Making it easier would encourage use of the system while improving the accuracy of the information entered
- Managers do not have the means to manage projects and be responsible for their employees’ time tracking and reporting
- Their system does not work across platforms because of the use of Macintosh and PC operating systems
- The system is not accessible from remote locations
Solution
- PeopleSoft professional services automation implemented, hosted and managed by NaviSite
- Ties together Hill Holiday offices /consultants, providing system access anytime from any location
- Estimated cost savings of 20+% over system integrator
Results
- PeopleSoft was deployed rapidly, in six months, with all customization requirements in place
- Ensured optimal performance level by NaviSite monthly management reports about system performance, upgrades and patches
- Through NaviSite’s hosting of PeopleSoft, Hill, Holliday has tied their offices and consultants together at any time and any location
