Preparing for PeopleSoft

Preparing all of Emory for the new PeopleSoft Financials System is a huge undertaking. Every employee does something different, which means that employees may take several different routes to transition to PeopleSoft Financials depending upon their role, position and use of the financials systems. As employees across the Emory community prepare for the change, take a minute to view a series of video vignettes that chronicle their individual transition paths.

Gene Murphy, Associate Director of Finance at Emory College

Gene has gone above and beyond the call of duty by organizing Super Users assigned to Emory College to create a Super User Solutions Center. The Solutions Center will help employees resolve issues if they are having difficulty after the implementation of PeopleSoft Financials. This program links the 40+ departments within the Emory College and uses a collaborative approach to help all College employees, faculty and staff transition effectively and efficiently.
