"The Congruent team were an integral part of helping Ernst & Young in moving to a more efficient centralised HR Service Centre model”

- Denise Collis
Ernst & Young HR Partner

Ernst & Young implemented PeopleSoft HRMS 7.5 May 2000. The decision to upgrade to version 8.3 in 2003 was made to enable Ernst & Young to take advantage of new functionality and to re-engineer the bulk of their original customizations around new business processes enabled through PeopleSoft 8.3. The re-implementation was also required to support their HR operation as it went through a major re-organization to centralised HR Service Centre model.

Congruent worked closely with the Ernst & Young team to identify the best process fit for the new vanilla PeopleSoft application improving the accuracy and integrity of HR data and reducing the risk of input errors. The overall number of customisations were reduced by 50% and over 1600 reports and queries were rationalized to 55 flexible reports to reduce the overall cost of ownership.
