ESA for Internal IT
Today’s businesses place more and more demands on the IT department, from ‘lights on’ systems to new and challenging projects. IT departments are continually pressured to do more with less. With all these strains, it is essential for a CIO to have an unambiguous view of all of the company’s IT investments in order to clearly delineate where limited resources should be directed.
PeopleSoft’s ESA for IT suite of products addresses this need. The suite includes Portfolio Management, Program Management, Contracts, Project Costing, Resource Management, and Time and Expenses. Delivered integration with Procurement, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Billing, Accounts Receivable and Time and Labor extend the suite for a complete end-to-end accounting of project costing business processes.
Cardinal Point has become the premier services company transforming IT from a cost center to a value center by implementing the ESA for IT suite. Our approach addresses the end-to-end business process, not just the individual modules. This unique perspective enables Cardinal Point consultants to address the needs of the business faster, more efficiently and effectively than our competitors.
