PeopleSoft Campus Solutions vs Workday Student

• It is web based so one can access it from anywhere, even outside of the university's network. Providing a way for staff/faculty to easily access student records from anywhere in the world provided they have a reliable internet connection.
• It is relatively easy to use for basic tasks like looking up a student's bio-data information especially if you are not working in custom bolt-on's configured and developed to work on top of Peoplesoft CS. Once users know how the system works they find it relatively easy to use with little to no issues.
• All the different functions can be found on one easy-to-read menu and that the menu never changes. That's important for a tool that is used several times a day!
• The system can be customized to meet the demands of your university. Each university can customize the tool so it better serves its community. Custom views can be created and different screens can be provided depending on the need of the particular department.
• Security is high and all data is secure. We have it configured with our SSO, so we can control the people who have access to the system. Permissions and privileges can also be given to different modules in Peoplesoft CS so different users have access to different areas of the system and different information. This provides security to sensitive information that may not be intended for all PS users.

• Allows synergy with the LMS - auto generating courses, students and enrollments. This helps increase adoption of our LMS, and improves student outcomes in their courses.
• Integrations with other systems are lacking. Unless you have access to a db view, it's difficult to get information out of the system. Web services could be really useful - and it may be that our institution just doesn't take advantage of those that exist. This leads to lack of innovation.
• Students have a difficult time navigating the system, leading to friction that can decrease student satisfaction and worsen student outcomes.
