In a bid to help integrate its products with disparate applications, PeopleSoft Inc yesterday announced a deal to resell New Era of Networks Inc’s Convoy/DM data conversion software as its preferred data conversion engine for PeopleSoft implementations. The ERP vendor said the deal would enable it to cut data conversion costs by up to 50%. PeopleSoft said it will work to deploy the software to customers in its 30 implementation centers throughout North America as well as assisting customers directly on-site with PeopleSoft implementations.
Currently, up to 40% of a total implementation project can be focused on the data transformation and integration effort, PeopleSoft said. By automating this process, using Neon’s software, customers can implement PeopleSoft’s ERP, supply chain and e-business applications in much faster timeframes. The ERP vendor said it has certified NEON Convoy/DM for all PeopleSoft 7.5 modules including Financials, Human Resources, Distribution Manufacturing and Student Administration.
