Improving It Resources While Cutting Costs

Issue

This Home Products Manufacturer in the Midwest uses PeopleSoft’s Human Capital Management software and was having difficulty supporting its PeopleSoft HCM application and related infrastructure. In addition, the Client wanted to implement new functionality while reducing costs during a downturn in construction industry. The Client determined that they would need 1-2 additional full-time developers to implement the new initiatives.

DSI Solution

Dimension Systems had previously worked with this client to apply PeopleSoft delivered tax updates and to upgrade their PeopleSoft application to the newest release. Because Dimension Systems had completed these projects on time and within budget, the client contacted us again to assist with the implementation of this new functionality. In the process, the client ultimately engaged Dimension Systems to provide PeopleSoft application, database and infrastructure support.

Client Benefits

Using our flexible support model, the Client was able to implement the new functionality on time and at a fraction of the cost of a traditional consultant. Also, the Client is able to obtain the support coverage that it needs using just one-third to one-half of a person of support, eliminating the need to add two developers and one DBA, providing the Client of a savings in excess of 60% of expected internal costs.
