Eating the PeopleSoft 9.2 Upgrade Elephant

Eating the PeopleSoft 9.2 Upgrade Elephant

PeopleSoft 9.2 is here.  It’s been out for a few several months now.  Oracle has committed to innovation on the PeopleSoft platform through 2027 so the vision for the future of your PeopleSoft system is coming into focus.  There will be new functionality.  There will be enhancements.  There will be opportunities to reduce customizations and lower your Total Cost of Ownership. elephant

Still, everybody knows that the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.  So when it comes to upgrading to PeopleSoft 9.2, which bite should be first?

Well, how about selecting a knowledgeable partner who can guide you through the different phases of the upgrade?  Strategic planning up front along with execution capabilities when it’s time for the rubber to meet the road and perform the upgrade project itself.

MIPRO is a good choice for a PeopleSoft 9.2 upgrade partner for a few reasons:

  • We have been working with 9.2 since well before it was generally available as a PeopleSoft 9.2 Early Success Program partner.

  • We were one of four partners selected to participate in the PeopleSoft 2013 Customer Advisory Board

  • We were invited to present with Oracle at the 2013 OpenWorld Conference on the PeopleSoft 9.2 Partner Panel.

  • We are working with multiple customers upgrading to PeopleSoft 9.2 right now. We can pass on our lessons learned.

  • We offer a full range of services from high-level strategic planning to upgrade execution.

It starts with an inquiry.

Our senior upgrade strategy consultants are happy to spend an hour with you discussing the upgrade at a high-level with no strings attached. Zero obligation.  Beyond that, there are more detailed planning services available such as our 1-2 week Upgrade Blueprint Workshop.

The Upgrade Blueprint Workshop will help you develop an upgrade strategy that maps to your specific business needs.  It’s a natural starting point for any PeopleSoft upgrade project.  During the Blueprint Workshop, we’ll help you build the cornerstone of your upgrade:  the draft project charter.  This deliverable serves as the roadmap for your upgrade.

Following the Upgrade Blueprint Workshop, you’ll have a document that provides a thorough framework to support your organization’s business objectives in the context of your upgrade project.  You can then present Blueprint findings to your key stakeholders.  With an extended Blueprint Workshop, we can even help you validate any open issues and develop your management presentation.  Blueprint will be your literal roadmap to achieving an optimum outcome to your upgrade project.

Take the first bite and contact us.  We’re happy to help.
