Overall Satisfaction with Oracle PeopleSoft HCM
It is being used for HR purposes across the entire organization -- managing personnel data, salaries, positions, etc. Specifically, my department uses it because I am delegated to adding or closing grant chartfields that originate from our PeopleSoft Finance database, to make sure personnel on grants are paid from the correct chartfields. I also sometimes use it to query data related to graduate assistants who are hired, and the position titles of faculty who teach graduate-level courses.
- The navigation for looking up personnel data is intuitive.
- Closing combination codes is a very easy process.
- Query reporting tools are very powerful -- query manager, connected query, and BI Publisher.
- I don't know if this an institution issue or not, but the process of adding new combination codes is cumbersome at times. We do it through an Excel spreadsheet, and if we make a mistake/typo, it's a real pain to delete or inactivate it and insert a new row.
- For my area, it is a necessity to ensure faculty are able to spend money on personnel for grants they earn. We can't afford glitches where the grant gets overspent, or someone doesn't get paid on time.
