Arkalgud Venkatesh, IT Manager at Alameda County, recently sat down with Quest to discuss their expansion into Fluid User Interface. Arkalgud is responsible for the County’s PeopleSoft footprint, including their expansion into Fluid User Interface.

Alameda County, a county in the state of California, uses PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financials Supply Chain Management (FSCM). Alameda’s technology team supports applications that cover over 9,000 employees. Alameda County has been a PeopleSoft customer since 2000 and they are currently on Financials and HCM 9.2 as well as PeopleTools 8.55.

The conversation with Arkalgud highlighted a few key points that other organizations should consider as they formulate a strategy around Fluid User Interface.

• Fluid allows creative ideas like a Help Home Page and easy access to external links
• Fluid rollouts can be done successfully with nimble ‘in-house’ teams
• Power users find Fluid UI more modern, simple, and easy to use
