Client

Founded in 1985, our client has been in the business of designing, manufacturing, and distributing cost-efficient financing for the acquisition, development, and improvement of single-family homes. The Company operates through four main segments: the Mortgage Banking Divisions, Consumer Bank, Specialty Product Divisions and the Investing Divisions.

 
Situation

Our client uses the PeopleSoft platform to process a variety of back office transactions for the Financials and HR operations. The primary objective was to be up to date with the latest products released by PeopleSoft Inc., so new business functionalities could be built into the new system. The client wanted to upgrade its HCM and Financials platform from the current version 7.5 to the web enabled version 8.8. Though not new to the concept of Offshoring, our client wanted the chosen vendor to execute the HCM and Financials upgrade as two separate assignments, one followed by the successful delivery of the other.

 
Solutions
  • Cognizant had a robust set of methodologies for the upgrade, supported by a strong set of in-house developed tools, which would help the client derive true value out of the upgrade as well as the offshore model.
  • Cognizant approached the upgrade in two distinct phases, the first being the upgrade of the existing modules, while the second being the implementation of the self-service modules.
  • The upgrade of the HCM application was successfully delivered to the client on time and within budget.
 
Value Adds
  • Accelerated and flexible delivery approach.
  • Cost-efficient delivery solution using Cognizant's flexible Onsite- Offshore Delivery model and resources.
  • Seamless service from the project startup phase through construction and support phase.
  • Predictable, standard, quality-focused, CMMi Level-5 assessed processes.
