Implementations come in many different flavors.  Consultants exchange templates and information to help with implementations.  If you are one of those consultants who is a “team player” and often helps others, you may find the ebook “PeopleSoft Tips, Tricks, and Templates worth the investment.  This is a compilation of several templates that have been gathered from consultants working on actual implementations.  The book can be purchased at the website Chahinkapa.com.  The book will continue to expand as consultants send examples.  If you have templates that you think are super and they are not copyright protected, feel free to send them to chahinkapa@gmail.com and they will be evaluated for inclusion in future publications.  If your template is included, we give you a free copy of the book and include your name in the credits.

The market seems to be coming back with several public sector opportunities.  DIMHRS continues to provide opportunities for testing and the commercial sector is looking toward upgrades and optimizations.  Let us know about your implementations and how you are viewing the future market for PeopleSoft.

Tropical Storm Fay is at our door and  I am sure she is having an effect on consulting travel.  One of my consulting friends had to drive from Atlanta to Florida due to significant flight delays in Atlanta.  The drive was a bit hazardous with wind, rain, hydoplaning cars and bridge closings.  He did make it home only to find rubble and trees down in the yard.  Whenever someone tells you that consulting is an easy job, remember what travel is Really like!!

Contacts with many consultants indicate an increased interest in Enterprise Learning Management, Absence Management and upgrades to 9.0.  All of the consultants seem happy with the 9.0 changes and many are into testing phases of their implementations.  Training is going on in many of the government sectors and test scripts are being frantically written on some projects.  A good place to look for test scripts is the UPK.  It provides an excellent starting point for testing and they can be easily adapted to your projects.  Give us your thoughts on 9.0, other PeopleSoft tips or tricks and “the lives of the traveling consultant.”
