The time to deploy the solution depends on the specific requirements for each transaction. We would create a roadmap based on the functional logic needed for that transaction.

Generally, we follow the analysis, design, development, deployment, and maintenance steps. After deployment, there is a testing phase where we perform black box testing. Most organizations use the agile methodology for individual development, but each organization has its own template and rules for how the process should be carried out. In terms of documentation, several documents are mandatory, including the Functional Design Document (FDD), Technical Design Document (TDD), Unit Test Document (UPD), and migration document.

An integrator helped with the deployment process. Five people were involved. It's our typical integration team size.

Three people are involved in the maintenance. It's manageable with that team size.

The implementation process of the solution can be carried out with the help of an in-house team.

When we first implemented the solution we used consultants but recently we did the upgrade of the solution in-house. We saved a lot of money.

We have an IT team of four who do the maintenance, checkups, updates and patching. Additionally, they answer user help requests. We have an additional three or four developers and administrators that help out during projects.

PeopleSoft needs an implementor to properly implement the solution. However, once implemented then it is easy to use.

We used consultants for the implementation of the solution. The solution requires a fair bit of maintenance and we have a five to ten-person team that looks after it.

The vendor was good, but if you do not know exactly what you need and what the product can do, it would be expensive. So you need to do the internal analysis and gathering first and then go with the vendor.

Initially, we needed help to implement this solution because I was an SAP user, so getting into Oracle, I needed consultants to understand it. Obviously, if you're moving from one ERP to another ERP, you need to get help from somebody to get educated. There was a data consultancy which was reappointed here to train each and every one of them.

We were trained at first until they trained the trainer. You get your first training and then you can train other people.

We used a mixed implementation team of people from IBM, Infosys, and our in-house team.

We tend to implement this solution for our clients. 

We implemented via a vendor.

The implementation was done in-house.

No, PeopleSoft was the first of its kind.

Our in-house team is responsible for the installation of products and integration with other services.

We implemented it ourselves.

We implemented the software with the help of a vendor.

We implemented it with our in-house team.

In-house and consultants.
