  31. Efficiency: Total Cost of Ownership • PeopleSoft HCM TCO is $64/year/team member.

  32. Efficiency: Total Cost of Ownership • We use TCO to fitness of our system. • Allows for comparison to benchmarks. • Allows for comparison to peers. • Allows for comparison of options. • Allows for comparison to ourselves over time. • TCO is difficult. • Which costs do we include? • Which services are we using? • How do we express the cost?

  35. PeopleSoft Value Proposition • PeopleSoft value comes from two sources: • Rich functionality • Empowering technology • It’s up to us to make the most of the functionality and technology.

  36. Maximizing the Delivered Product • Take advantage of product strengths. • Core HR model • Person model and JPM • International extensions • Payroll and Benefits processing • Know what’s in the box. • Easy to miss delivered functionality. • Understand full range of configuration options.

  37. Exploiting the Technical Possibilities • The ability to customize has been key selling points for PeopleSoft. • Key to our decision to go with PeopleSoft back then. • Key to our decision to stay with PeopleSoft now. • Customization is important for creating value. • Modifications to delivered functionality • Extensions • Integrations

  38. The Power of Customization • Customization is powerful: • Meet your unique needs. • Overcome gaps in the delivered functionality. • Create valuable differentiation. • Customization is dangerous: • Waste resources on customizations that don’t add value. • Create an unmanageable code line. • Create stuff you already bought or built.

  39. Making Customization Work for you • Only customize for the right reasons. • Insist that customizations cut cost, reduce risk, create advantage. • Set priorities collaboratively at higher levels. • Use process to eliminate pet projects. • Do fewer, more impactful customizations. • Maintain and apply design and development standards. • Reuse, reuse, reuse. • Keep customizations abstracted. • Collaborate and review. • Maintain and revisit customizations.

  42. The Future: PeopleSoft or SaaS? • Software as a Service has a lot of cachet: • Viable providers have emerged • Replacement solutions: Fusion, Workday • Extension solutions: Fusion, TAM, LMS,T&A, CRM • Investors love SaaS providers. • SaaS has an aura of inevitability.

  43. The Future: PeopleSoft or SaaS? • SaaS presents compelling advantages: • HR as a commodity. • Predictable, subscription-based cost model. • Rapid delivery of new feature and function. • Reduced IT complexity. • SaaS has some serious drawbacks: • Reduction of flexibility and extensibility. • Reliance on third party for service, security, innovation. • HR as a commodity.

  44. The Future: SaaS + • We become our own “SaaS-Plus” provider. • The advantages of SaaS • Rapid delivery • Predictable cost model • Plus the advantages of traditional on-premise PeopleSoft • Control over our data • Complete flexibility and extensibility • Ability to use HCM for differentiation.

  45. The Future: Continuous Delivery • Continuous Delivery makes SaaS + approach possible. • Faster delivery • Higher uptake of new functionality • Dramatically lower upgrade costs • Getting to Continuous Delivery is not simple. • PUM takes some work. • Processes, roles, and org structure change. • Mindsets must change.

  46. The Future: Continuous Delivery Requires Change • We need to change how we manage PeopleSoft to do continuous delivery: • Adopt product management mentality. • Invest in staying current. • Put effort into understanding and incorporating new function. • Re-imagine testing.

  47. Future: Quality and PeopleSoft Test Framework • Continuous Delivery requires fast, effective, and affordable testing. • Testing is currently very expensive. • Testing is slow. • Test effectiveness is limited by so-so traceability.

  48. The Future: Quality and PTF • We need PTF to change cost and speed of quality dramatically. • Reusable test cases • Traceability using PTF, Change Assistant, and Usage Analyzer • Implementing PTF is not a simple endeavor. • Takes effort to set up. • Takes discipline to manage.

  49. The Future: Value • We need a cost-competitive HR solution. • TCO must remain low and continue to improve. • No one will want to pay big $ for future upgrade. • We need continuous expansion to meet demands: • Feature and function. • Channels: Mobile, social, etc. • Integration. • Better, faster, cheaper analytics.

  50. The Future: Why PeopleSoft? • To remain relevant, our PeopleSoft solution has to outperform alternatives in five categories. • Cost • Functionality • Quality • Risk • Differentiation
