When a new version of PeopleSoft is released, Syntel facilitates your upgrade by working with you to smoothly:

• Implement additional modules
• Implement new functionality within the modules you already use
• Do a pure “technology upgrade”
• Upgrade all of your custom programs (extensions, customizations, system interfaces, etc.)
• Regression test to ensure all current business functions work correctly in the new release

Starting with planning and assessment and continuing through upgrade execution, customizations, enhancements, testing and deployment, we provide everything it takes to rapidly and successfully implement PeopleSoft 8.x/9.0.

Data Archiving: ArchiveIT
Syntel’s data archival solution – ArchiveIT – is one-stop solution for archiving and retrieving archived data, regardless of the data’s location. In the process of archival, production data is moved to history and from there on it may be retired and stored on different media like optical disks or tape. Prior to retirement, production and archived data are accessible with no extra interface or customization.

ArchiveIT has been created as a wrapper to Oracle’s delivered Data Archival Manager (DAM) tool for PeopleSoft and simplifies the configuration steps for the DAM engine. It is designed to run on all the base applications including FSCM, HCM and CRM.
