Kaytek SAP Career Consulting Insights |
 Making the Peoplesoft to SAP Career Transition Oracle's takeover had earlier questioned the very
survival and stability of Peoplesoft product as a standalone ERP solution on a long-term basis. In 2005, as per an AMR Research Report, globally SAP was projected to have twice the marketshare and revenues of the combined ORACLE Peoplesoft Organization. Peoplesoft HR experienced persons wanting to move to SAP, could perhaps start with SAP-HR since the functional familiarity already exists. It would also enable one to compare the differences between the HR functional capabilities between Peoplesoft and SAP. |
Depending on the exact Peoplesoft (Psoft) Modules that one has worked with and the depth and breadth of experience, the following four steps could also help leverage one's existing PeopleSoft Functional
Knowledge to make the move to SAP. They could also help in moving from one ERP solution to another. Maybe from non-SAP ERP Package to SAP. In such a case, the earlier ERP solution that a person has worked with would be important to determine a likely module-wise transition path and mapping to a similar SAP module. These four steps are : First, Extract your Generic Learnings from your Peoplesoft
Specific Functional Modules. This Generic Knowledge pertains to Managing The Organization's M-Assets - The  Men
Methods
Money
Markets
Materials
Mortar-Brick
Machines
Messages...
Miscellaneous (Assets & Actions)
in an Enterprise. |
These generic learnings would be across all the 3 logical software layers as well as generic business knowledge as applied to Peoplesoft. Second, Understand the Generic SAP Technology and Business functional Learnings from SAP Specific Functional Modules. Third, Compare these generic technical and functional learnings of PeopleSoft and SAP, to understand your Current Skill
Deficiencies if any in the Generic SAP Knowledge. Fourth, work towards overcoming the Identified SAP Skill Deficiences in the specific SAP Technical and Functional Areas, mapped from the generic SAP Technical and Functional Areas. For more information on the above, kindly email us. |
