The PeopleSoft program promises to do the work that dozens of seperate computer programs had to before.
Advancement software pertains to things like alumni tracking and fundraising efforts.
PeopleSoft's logic software runs such functions as admitting students, registering them, getting grades out, recruitment, record keeping, and handling their financial affairs. Previously all of these functions were handled by individual programs for each of them, Palmberg said. It does financial and informational processes. All staff on campus were converted to PeopleSoft on Jan. 4 of this year. All state-paid employees on campus will have their payment schedules moved to the program starting next month.
