upgrade of the current HR/Payroll application,
PeopleSoft version 8.9 to version 9.1 between
December 2011 and September 2012.

purchase, as part of the upgrade project, Extended

•It will be necessary for the GNWT to upgrade the current
PeopleSoft 8.9 version to 9.1 prior to Dec 2012.

Why Should the GNWT
Upgrade?

•Facilitates reducing customizations by deploying
standard processes across the organization,
•Leverages the latest performance
enhancements, and,
•Ensures eligibility for the highest levels of
product support.

Potential Risks of Not
Upgrading
•GNWT support resources knowledge falls behind the newer
technology and functionality.
•HR is unable to take advantage of enhanced functionality and
efficient business processes.
•The software becomes non-compliant with legislative changes,
i.e. tax updates.
•As HR/Payroll is now directly connected to SAM, it is
important for each application to remain in approximate sync
to the other to obtain the greatest benefit from the software.
•It could cost significantly more to move from an unsupported
version to a newer version at a later date.

New Functionality in 9.1
•The Approval workflow engine (AWE) associated
to Time & Labour, has the potential to eliminate
the use of ‘Ladders’.
•Also included are dashboards and workbenches
that contain embedded analytics/reporting.
•Oracle also rolled out PeopleTools 8.5, which will
provide tighter integration with SAM.
