March 7, 2006 Software Selected for IBIS Project Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Solution software has been selected for the State’s Integrated Business Information System (IBIS) project. The project will produce a standardized infrastructure to replace an assortment of outmoded business processes throughout state government that presently include more than 38 different human resources and payroll systems, and more than 59 financial management systems. “This is an important step in modernizing the State’s administrative operations,” Secretary Steve Bablitch said in a press release issued today. “When this project is completed we will be using the same tools that the private sector has employed for years. An integrated approach to administrative functions such as human resources and procurement will give us the information we need to leverage fully our buying power, eliminate duplication, and further streamline business processes. All of this will lower the State’s costs and result in savings for the taxpayers.” At least 20 other states have, or are in the process of implementing similar administrative systems. The department issued an Intent to Award for the PeopleSoft Enterprise Solution yesterday, and will immediately begin negotiating a contract with the company. The PeopleSoft product was recommended by an evaluation committee comprised of six state civil service employees and one member from the private sector. The process was independently audited and observed by former State Auditor Dale Cattanach. For more information, visit IBIS Website at:  http://ibis.wi.gov/ * * *      Report

"Some experienced staff may be skeptical of the new system and doubtful about the benefits, while others won't."  Well, ok, gee I wonder how where the skeptics come from? It's nice of us to discriminate between those who actually care about how taxpayers dollars are spent, and those who are just along for the ride. Maybe they've heard, and I hear that Oracle is well.., fairly proprietary and does not interface well with other systems. Don't forget the UW tried to put in a big consolidated system like this and it was a disaster.  Consolidation is not always the answer, in fact it can be darn right difficult, is it not? If you want less skeptics you could start by putting together the names of all the people who put this project together, INCLUDING THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE, also include the research, the numbers, everything.  Put it in a blog, inform us, don't play the lets choose sides game, its to childish.        Report

I truly believe it is a real application for goverment or enterprise. It is complex, scalable and has strong features. Maintainence is not a easy work but I think that is not problem here. under cabinet TVs | audi video reviews | Amazon Discount Codes    Report
