Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Oracle PeopleSoft ERP software for our employee self-service, where state employees can view personal information, such as their paychecks, tax forms, and leave balances.

  • Allows for employee training programs
  • Easy to navigate the different tabs

Cons

  • Could make more things on the home screen without having it be a separate tab
