How CIO Ron Danielson Webified PeopleSoft and Won

摘要

The idea was to provide more widespread access to business-critical enterprise applications without increasing the administrative burden on the IT department. Before that goal would be realized, however, Santa Clara University (SCU) got a lesson in what ca n go wrong with Web-based applications and, more importantly, how to remedy the problems. In July of 2002, SCU made the move to PeopleSoft 8, the Web-enabled version of the popular application suite. The school uses PeopleSoft to support human resources, financial and student administration applications, including admissions, financial aid and course registration programs, says Ron Danielson, chief information officer for SCU, an 8,000-student university in Santa Clara, Calif.
