Need to Integrate with PeopleSoft? Let us do the hard work for you

We simplify PeopleSoft integrations for complete spend control.

Achieving complete spend control and visibility is critical for businesses to stay competitive. But getting the single source of spend truth to drive this control and optimization is not easy. You need all your spend data in one place – your Source to Pay (S2P) platform. Integrating your S2P platform with PeopleSoft can be a challenging activity. It’s a complex and time-consuming activity. Most organisations face integration issues that lead to:

  • Inaccurate Decision-Making: Misaligned data hinders strategic decision-making.
  • Inefficient Processes: Time and resources are wasted on manual data management.
  • Limited Spend Control: Disconnected systems prevent holistic spend oversight.

If you’ve faced these issues before, you’re not alone. Research indicates:

  • 1 in 3 leaders struggle to trust the data they use for decision-making. (source)
  • 97% of businesses admit their data quality is insufficient. Over half of their data is problematic. (source)
  • More than 70% of companies don’t have fully integrated systems. (source)

That’s where we come in. Our PeopleSoft Integration-as-a-Service takes on all the heavy lifting of integrations for you.

Valtatech: Your PeopleSoft Integration Partner

PeopleSoft is a robust and popular ERP solution. Connecting your ERP data to your S2P platform is an increasingly important business need. But integration projects like this required huge time and effort to get right. PeopleSoft’s complex architecture and data structures present significant integration challenges. Challenges that are often costly for in-house IT teams to overcome. Our team specialises in connecting PeopleSoft and other systems to your S2P platform. We ensure you can achieve the unified view of your corporate spend you need. Our experts have helped organisations using PeopleSoft overcome challenges like:

Navigating Intricate Data Structures.

PeopleSoft’s data model is complex and highly relational. Key procurement and financial data is spread across many interconnected tables. For example, the PS_VOUCHER, PS_PO_LINE, and PS_PV_REQ_HDR tables are critical for procurement processes. Aligning these with your S2P platform’s data model can be a daunting task. The complexity of tables like these, make it difficult to ensure data integrity and consistency across systems.

Overcoming Module-Specific Complexities

Each PeopleSoft module, like Purchasing and Accounts Payable brings its own specific challenges. These modules are tightly integrated within PeopleSoft. This means that the data extraction and transformation process needs to be tailored. They need to reflect the unique processes and workflows of each module.

Accounting for Customisation

Many organisations have customised their PeopleSoft environments extensively. This can include modifying standard processes and adding custom tables and fields. These customisations, while necessary, create significant hurdles during integration. For instance, custom tables or fields must be carefully mapped to fit within the data structures of your S2P platform. This adds further layers of complexity and increases the risk of errors.

Integrating with Complex Workflows

PeopleSoft has a powerful workflow engine to automate and streamline processes. These workflows need to be replicated in your S2P platform to maintain process integrity. Given how complex these workflows can be, like for PO approval, it can be easy to miss steps in the process.

Data Integrity Challenges.

Maintaining data integrity between PeopleSoft and your S2P platform is paramount but challenging. The risk of data inconsistencies increases when dealing with large volumes of transactions. This is a risk if the integration doesn’t account for all the nuances of PeopleSoft’s data model. Data needs to be accurately reflected in your S2P platform from PeopleSoft. This is crucial for reliable financial reporting and spend analysis.

These complexities are more common that you realise. Without expert knowledge, integrations can quickly become time-consuming, costly and prone to errors. This can prove to be a costly and slow exercise for internal teams. That’s why many businesses have asked us to manage the hard work of integrations for them.
