How Paul Gathard avoids

PSPA Customizations

Mercer Human Resource Consulting and PeopleSoft development staff built the Pension Administration module to be as flexible and usable as possible. Many of the delivered but undocumented features of the module are only discovered with trial and error experimentation. It is a proven fact that the delivered PeopleSoft Pension Administration application can and will do more than most believe possible.

The experience of implementing many PSPA defined benefit plans has brought to light many common means of resolving what other implementation consultants would have created a customization to resolve. Customizations are expensive and time consuming and most are avoidable. Plus, module customizations prove to become even more expensive to handle as upgrades are applied.

Customization is avoidable by bringing delivered USER Exits into play, creating processes that tie into other delivered processes and creatively using delivered functionality for other non-contemplated uses.

Potentially thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars can be saved by avoiding unneeded PeopleSoft Pension Administration module customizations. Paul Gathard knows many tips and tricks learned during the implementation of over 200 defined benefit PSPA plans.
