Software Futures has announced that Peregrine Systems, a provider of infrastructure management software for the Infrastructure Resource Planning (IRP) marketplace, will now integrate with PeopleSoft's applications.
All of a company's physical assets from computers to facilities and transportation fleets can now be linked to the people who use and manage them. As a result, a company can get a much more comprehensive view of its physical assets in relation to its human resources leading to maximum efficiencies in infrastructure management.
Four Peregrine Systems applications, ServiceCenter, AssetCenter, SPAN FM and FleetAnywhere will integrate with PeopleSoft application modules to provide a broad range of infrastructure management functions and reporting capabilities. Because information is automatically exchanged among the applications, the potential for costly incidents of work replication and employee error is reduced.
"The more information a company has, the better it is able to carry out its business mission," says Allen Lewis, MD of Software Futures' systems management business unit. "Integrating human resources with overall infrastructure management is imperative for streamlining and optimising operations."
Each of the integration points between Peregrine Systems and PeopleSoft applications will enable real-time data sharing to automate what would otherwise be manual and error-prone tasks. ServiceCenter, for example, will collaborate with PeopleSoft's HR application to set up a new employee with the proper equipment and then process any change requests or work orders they may require. AssetCenter will work with the same application to track the location of that employee's equipment and determine its current value.
AssetCenter will also integrate with PeopleSoft financials. This integration will allow users to correlate specific asset lifecycle information from AssetCenter to fixed asset information from PeopleSoft. In the same manner, FleetAnywhere and SPAN FM will interface with PeopleSoft applications to manage the asset lifecycle of transportation fleets, buildings, properties and other non-IT assets.
