PeopleSoft HCM Optimization
In 2023, Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), a long-standing Elire client, re-engaged Elire to optimize their ECM Total Rewards system. What began as a targeted enhancement effort quickly expanded into a comprehensive review of OPPD’s PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) environment.
Elire conducted a deep-dive assessment of OPPD’s HCM core and foundational modules, identifying areas of underutilized functionality, misaligned configurations, and opportunities to streamline operations. The result was a strategic three-year roadmap for phased implementation—paving the way for continued transformation through a series of defined projects.
Modules and areas impacted included:
Key PeopleSoft 9.2 features were leveraged, including Page and Field Configurator, Activity Guides, WorkCenters, and Configurable Search, as well as advanced tools like Oracle Guided Learning and Benefits Document Upload.
OPPD faced common—but critical—challenges in maximizing the value of their PeopleSoft investment. These included:
Elire addressed these roadblocks through a structured methodology anchored in SIPOC analysis, which identified process disconnects and improvement opportunities. Each project phase was independently scoped and executed, allowing for targeted progress and measurable wins.
Each initiative within this multi-year effort has been delivered on time and within budget. OPPD has seen significant gains through:
These improvements have not only resolved longstanding inefficiencies but also empowered OPPD’s HR team to take fuller ownership of their software investment.
Current efforts are focused on final testing for Fluid Job and Person Data, as well as Benefits Document Upload and Approval. Future phases will continue through 2025 and 2026.
