PeopleSoft Expands Enterprise Service Automation Offering

    PeopleSoft, Inc. today announced the
    general availability of three new products within its industry-leading
    PeopleSoft(R) Enterprise Service Automation (ESA) 8.8 suite:
    PeopleSoft(R) Enterprise Program Management, PeopleSoft(R) ESA Portal,
    and PeopleSoft(R) Enterprise Proposal Management. Proposal Management
    enables professional services organizations to accurately estimate and
    prioritize proposals for services work. Program Management and ESA
    Portal, part of PeopleSoft(R) ESA for IT, provides IT organizations
    with new project management and information delivery capabilities to
    monitor project performance and enable IT governance.

    PeopleSoft ESA for IT is the industry’s most comprehensive
    solution for IT governance. Pressure to reduce costs and improve
    regulatory compliance has forced CIOs and IT organizations to
    implement new IT governance programs that improve project ROI and
    enhance IT service delivery. In addition, this pressure requires CIOs
    to measure and communicate to executives and shareholders the value
    that IT brings to the entire organization. PeopleSoft ESA for IT
    addresses these issues with an integrated solution that combines IT
    best practices with PeopleSoft’s transactional systems, analytic
    applications, and roles-based portals.

    “Our members are telling us that they lack an integrated solution
    to improve IT governance,” said Chris Miller, executive director,
    Working Council for Chief Information Officers. “Using an integrated
    solution will give CIOs a single source of data on IT projects and
    resources that they need. As a result, CIO’s can focus on their most
    attractive IT investments, deploy IT resources appropriately, and
    respond quickly to changing business requirements.”

    “IT governance has become a paramount issue for the State of North
    Dakota in just the last few months,” said Curtis L. Wolfe, chief
    information officer, State of North Dakota. “The State legislature
    recently mandated that we report on the progress and success of all
    our IT projects, to ensure that we are spending taxpayer dollars
    wisely. By expanding its PeopleSoft ESA for IT suite, PeopleSoft is
    leading the way in helping organizations like the State of North
    Dakota address increased pressures to improve IT governance.”

    The new modules within PeopleSoft Enterprise Service Automation
    8.8 include:

    — PeopleSoft Enterprise Program Management provides project
    management capabilities across multiple projects by connecting
    the entire business process, from selecting strategic projects
    to managing resources, tracking costs, and analyzing results.

    — PeopleSoft ESA Portal leverages PeopleSoft’s industry-leading
    Enterprise Portal technology to deliver a consolidated,
    real-time view of project activity and data analysis. ESA
    Portal will provide managers with greater visibility and
    control over project performance and execution, enabling them
    to identify and address potential problems early in the
    project lifecycle.

    — PeopleSoft Enterprise Proposal Management allows managers to
    accurately estimate and prioritize proposals for services
    work, including costs, scope, timeline and profitability of
    the proposed project.

    “PeopleSoft’s industry-leading Enterprise Service Automation
    solutions help companies improve IT governance and increase the
    productivity and effectiveness of their IT organizations,” said Renee
    Lorton, senior vice president and general manager, PeopleSoft
    Financial Management. “With the addition of these new solutions, CIOs
    now have the tools they need to implement an IT governance process
    that aligns IT activities with the business and delivers measurable
    value to the organization.”
