It is most likely that our customers will have this level of experience. Your perspective on the impact or benefits of incorporating PeopleSoft into the curriculum. PeopleSoft provides single-user versions of its application software at no charge along with Application User training software, documentation, and support materials. Primary technical support is provided by the institution's own IT staff, but for those schools that are PeopleSoft customers and have a current services contract in place, there is an escalation process and access to PeopleSoft's Advantage services. Each institution that participates is eligible to send two faculty members and a technical support person to PeopleSoft's Education Services for training on the applications they will be using.
Training is provided at no charge but is on a space-available, waitlist basis.
An integral part of the program is the collaboration and support among the participating schools. Obviously, timing can vary but we are finding that the lead time to finalize the paperwork, install the software, have faculty attend training, and then update or develop a course or courses takes between three and six months. Because the application software that we provide are copies of the single-user versions, the computing requirements are limited. A typical setup would be a standard desktop PC in a computing lab. As both the SU and the EUT contain demo databases, we suggest that you load only the EUT database to avoid duplication and reduce storage requirements.
