The buzz words for the decade were “Big Data”, “Unstructured
Data”, “In Memory Database”, “Analytics” etc… There were a lot of research and
development going around the world around these concepts. Most of the bigger software
vendors and startups have already come up with some solutions in these lines
for enterprises. One of the major in-memory application available in the market
for enterprise application is SAP’s hana. After the acquisition of Sun, Oracle
was also following the line with their exa series of machines.
The good news for the PeopleSoft customers is that Oracle
has released its first in-memory engineered system for PeopleSoft Project
Costing, Program Management and Resource Management (FSCM suite). You might
have noticed the term engineered system,
it’s how Oracle markets its hardware and software integrated system. For the
PeopleSoft In-Memory Project system, the PeopleSoft system is integrated with
Oracle middleware (Endeca) into the Oracle hardware (exalytics). The engineered
system as a whole delivers extreme performance and analytic powers. The
middleware is so powerful that the analytics is done in extremely capable
manner. Since the data set is hosted in silicon memory in the exalytics machine, the response time for the queries is much faster than you can imagine.
Watch out the below video for an overview on the new
in-memory product from PeopleSoft.
The PeopleSoft Project Discovery which is now available for
the customers is designed in much appealing dash board format. The senior officials
of an organization will be quickly able to find out and filter various aspects
of projects running on the organization in efficient manner. The additional
capability includes performing a combined search on your structured and
unstructured (eg. Attachments) project data and bringing up the information
based on the relevance which was a nightmare earlier.
The project discovery also helps the Resource Managers to
quickly and efficiently find out resources across the organization for a project. Based on
the criteria, various analytics of the resource such as utilization,
geographical spread etc are brought up immediately with a mouse click. There
are much more functionality offered in the suite which will definitely be a handy
tool for project managers, resource managers and senior officials.
