| Assignment | : | ABG Enterprise-portal Revamp |
| Assignment Type | : | Requirement |
| Description | : | The Enterprise-portal had issues galore. For instance, the PeopleSoft Default Menu Navigation was made the user memorize many clicks causing discomfort to reach even an elementary document. Moreover, essential documents frequently required by users weren't easily traceable resulting in endless searches. Though the portal was implemented, none of its functionalities were fully exploited leaving much to desire. |
| Solution | : | After having several brainstorming sessions and review meetings with the client, CM categorized each problem against the expert required to solve those problems. Thus, after categorizing the problems of the client and the user; with a team of in-house Technical and Functional PeopleSoft experts and Graphic Designers, CM came up with a set of designs, reworked on the entire look and feel of the portal, worked on its functionalities and developed three different sets of designs in the form of pagelets, all of this resulting in Zero Customization. |
| Result | : | The Result was a 'satisfied and a 'highly involved' user. The users could not only have instant access to all the important links to documents from PS Enterprise and HRMS Portal but also from other non-PS applications within and outside the organization, all of this available on their desktops right from their login. All the multiple-clicks to reach the desired documents now, could be reached just through a single click. An attractive pagelet with result charts were deployed on the user's desktops encouraging them to participate in a number of enterprise-wide feedback exercises, thus growing their interest in using this all new user-friendly system. |
| Assignment | : | Hyperion Implementation |
| Assignment Type | : | Critical Problem |
| Description | : | This was a unique kind of implementation where a complete business intelligence tool (Hyperion 9.3) was deployed exclusively on HR data. The implementation partner appointed by ABG could not decipher the requirements as they had never undertaken an implementation on an HR system before. The client had loads of expectations from the tool which the implementation partner was unable to understand. The tool was designed to analyze financial data but needed enhancements to be used on HR specific data. Since the client is using the PeopleSoft HRMS system, which has very advanced and complex security architecture, they wanted the Hyperion system to be on par with the PeopleSoft system on security features. |
| Solution | : | Being PeopleSoft partners with ABG, the PS experts from CM were aware of the client's expectations and requirements. They went through a series of session with the implementation partner and other experts of the BI tool and went to great lengths to understand the tool Later on the team not only come up a well formulated plan on a complete Requirement Specification but also used a step by step approach on how to implement the same on the BI tool. A customized staging environment was developed on PS system which can be easily managed with PS Application Engines and Processes to be used in the BI tool increasing the performance of the system by many times. The whole security problem was sorted by a single view developed by CM technical consultants |
| Result | : | An information rich, dynamic and secure BI system was deployed within the deadline of six months. With the deployment of the system, top managers got access to all the real time HR information within the organization in well formulated charts and graphs on their desktop. |
