Case Study: End to end Production Support

Client | One of India’s largest Business Process Services firm

Dynamic HR environment with approximately 38000 employees in an industry which works with average 30% attrition

HR & Financials applications are highly customized Inability to focus on their core business

operations – did not derive benefits of outsourcing

Business Problem

Application versions not fully supported Heavy peaks and troughs in application

usage through the day with extensive self service usage

Retention of key PeopleSoft talent–frequentchurn in support leading to lack of continuity

Challenges

Talented team of SOAIS is organized to focus on environments, business-as-usual & enhancement activities across multiple tracks at customer location

Dedicated point-of-contacts for specific functional areas needing support SOAIS onsite and offshore team ensured that 99.98% uptime and other SLAs are met The team has provided value added solutions like data archiving, single sign-on

implementation, 9.1 upgrade and HRM functional consulting during organizationrestructuring for the customer

Case Study: ePerformance Implementation

Client | Leading India based retailer

Customer was looking to automate PerformanceManagement & overall Talent Management functions

Performance data for three different business entities not consolidated in the PeopleSoft HR ERP

Lack of Linkages between competencies and inability corporate HRto exercise control from Corporate HR lead to disparate

performance measures

Business Problem

Three different business groups had different

performance measurement process

Legacy data conversion to PSFT system was a

problem

Business practices specific to the retail sector

needed to be incorporated

Challenges

SOAIS team assisted with streamlining business processes across three different entities

while supporting them to maintain processes unique to their business.

Process and usability improvements in the delivered business processes were designed for

the customer including re-look at competencies, rating matrix & Balance Scorecard

Customer was able to go-live within two months along with the slew of reports that weren’t

delivered in the product
