Project details
The PPPA wished to maximise its use of PeopleSoft 8.8 functionality. To this end, they had teams looking into and gathering requirements across all manner of business processes. These would be packaged into detailed change requests for deployment as soon as possible.
PPPA worked long term with a PeopleSoft specialist, Congruent, to implement upgrades and these change requests.
Given the volume of work coming down the pipeline, Congruent appointed IT Bites to project manage all the work.
To bring some order, we introduced quarterly software releases where up to 50 change requests at a time would be implemented. Our Congruent teams, comprising over 20 functional and technical resources, would deliver the changes for the PPPA to test and sign off and then take live.
