Case Study: End to end Production Support
Client | One of India’s largest Business Process Services firm
Dynamic HR environment with approximately 38000 employees in an industry which works with average 30% attrition
HR & Financials applications are highly customized Inability to focus on their core business
operations – did not derive benefits of outsourcing
Business Problem
Application versions not fully supported Heavy peaks and troughs in application
usage through the day with extensive self service usage
Retention of key PeopleSoft talent–frequentchurn in support leading to lack of continuity
Challenges
Talented team of SOAIS is organized to focus on environments, business-as-usual & enhancement activities across multiple tracks at customer location
Dedicated point-of-contacts for specific functional areas needing support SOAIS onsite and offshore team ensured that 99.98% uptime and other SLAs are met The team has provided value added solutions like data archiving, single sign-on
implementation, 9.1 upgrade and HRM functional consulting during organizationrestructuring for the customer

Case Study: ePerformance Implementation
Client | Leading India based retailer
Customer was looking to automate PerformanceManagement & overall Talent Management functions
Performance data for three different business entities not consolidated in the PeopleSoft HR ERP
Lack of Linkages between competencies and inability corporate HRto exercise control from Corporate HR lead to disparate
performance measures
Business Problem
Three different business groups had different
performance measurement process
Legacy data conversion to PSFT system was a
problem
Business practices specific to the retail sector
needed to be incorporated
Challenges
SOAIS team assisted with streamlining business processes across three different entities
while supporting them to maintain processes unique to their business.
Process and usability improvements in the delivered business processes were designed for
the customer including re-look at competencies, rating matrix & Balance Scorecard
Customer was able to go-live within two months along with the slew of reports that weren’t
delivered in the product
