OrgPlus Receives Integration Validation with Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise 9.0

Exeter, United Kingdon - 26 January 2009 - HumanConcepts today announced that its OrgPlus Enterprise solution has received integration validation with Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management 9.0. Through the Oracle Application Integration Architecture for Partners initiative, OrgPlus Enterprise completed rigorous testing demonstrating integration and use of best practices and Oracle standards with PeopleSoft Enterprise.

OrgPlus Enterprise, named Top HR Product of 2008 by Human Resource Executive® magazine, helps PeopleSoft users reduce the time and money they spend managing and distributing accurate human resources information across the enterprise. With OrgPlus Enterprise, PeopleSoft users can access critical employee information on-demand to make more informed business decisions and proactively manage organisational change.

Joint customers, such as Quintiles and British Telecom, augment their PeopleSoft investment with OrgPlus Enterprise to quickly make workforce planning decisions and meet financial targets in response to economic and market shifts. The solution enables managers and HR professionals to easily access and share workforce information and metrics. In addition, these collaborative planning capabilities facilitate workforce restructuring activities via an intuitive drag and drop interface.

"The validation of the integration of OrgPlus with PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management provides users with a centralised source to access current employee data, visualise organisational hierarchies and manage workforce changes," stated Tracy Martin, Senior Director, PeopleSoft HCM Strategy, Oracle.

"Integration validation helps ensure users a seamless deployment of OrgPlus Enterprise into their PeopleSoft Enterprise environment," said Martin Sacks, President and CEO, HumanConcepts. "OrgPlus allows managers to easily visualise and understand their talent data, and if an organisation is growing, reorganising or merging, OrgPlus rapidly models these changes using accurate financial, workforce, and budget data so HR, finance and executive teams can make better decisions to impact overall corporate objectives."

HumanConcepts is a Certified Partner in the Oracle® PartnerNetwork.
