It’s up to the people

Earlier this year, managed care provider Centene finished deploying a new financial system, Computerworld reports. CIO Don Imholz says the project, which involved multiple PeopleSoft modules as well as financial planning and reporting software from Hyperion, was completed “very quickly”-in 12 months-and on budget.Imholz believes the project was successful for a number of reasons, including that the company implemented proven technology and hired a systems integrator experienced with PeopleSoft to help. Most importantly, Imholz says the project was successful because of “good teaming between the IT organization, the finance organization and the systems integration resources.”

In other words, much of the project’s success came down to people skills.
