Overall Satisfaction with PeopleSoft Financials

PeopleSoft Financials is being used across the whole organization as the system of record for financial transactions. We heavily utilize the General Ledger, Asset Management, Purchasing and Accounts Payable modules to track and record all financial transactions within the organization. We utilize the Accounts Payable module to track and pay our vendors and connect that with the General Ledger to facilitate budget planning and ensure the financial health of the organization.
  • Customizable - PeopleSoft Financials allows for an incredible amount of flexibility and customization which is well suited to many industries including the healthcare and utility sectors.
  • Platform Agnostic - PeopleSoft Financials has adapted to the shifting environment of multi-form-factor devices and the challenges that arise with mobile browsers and desktop power users by implementing a "Fluid" interface that can be used across all devices
  • Feature Rich - PeopleSoft Financials includes settings and configuration for virtually any situation that arises within an organization's financial model, with most transactional settings being more than is required by the industry which ensures tracking to the level the organization requires
  • PeopleSoft Financials does not address the needs of small organizations that do not have a large enough staff to maintain the software or utilize the features it provides as it requires a moderate staff to keep track of all of the transactions and processing
  • PeopleSoft licensing costs are significant, which are relative to the features provided but in many cases those features may not be necessary
  • PeopleSoft licensing structures can be frustrating at times when certain modules would allow you to perform the complex task needed but it would require the entire module to be licensed for just that one feature (e.g. Cash Management for loading bank statements in certain formats)
  • Positive tracking of ledger information for all areas of the organization. Our organization has multiple business units that require the accurate and complete tracking of transactions and budgetary history going back multiple years, which PeopleSoft Financials has done
  • Ability to connect with external vendors easily and to export any and all file types and connect to service operations/web services as well as accept and process transactions from external systems has brought a positive impact
  • PeopleSoft provides the framework to reconcile transactions across the organization and within different business units to provide transparency and transactional history for metrics and data analysis
  • Workday
PeopleSoft Financials is extremely robust when it comes to a fully featured Enterprise Resource Planning system, allowing our organization to have cross-functional area interaction and communication be completely seamless. For example, the Requisition to Check process (Req to Check) and the manner in which it works directly with the inventory and asset management modules reduces effort and streamlines business processes. PeopleSoft allows for the complete customization of any portion, which allows for the ERP software to fit the organizations needs instead of forcing the business to change in ways that do not complement the core competency of the organization.
Large organizations that require a moderate amount of customization to business processes can leverage the PeopleSoft Financials system to suit the needs of the organization. This flexible framework allows for virtually anything to be customized, allowing the business to fit the system to their needs instead of changing business processes to fit the models imposed by an ERP system.
