Challenges:
In today's dynamic business environment, organizations are often faced with the challenges and opportunities presented by mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. It is during these times that the latest JDE E1 enhancements prove to be invaluable. These enhancements aid in streamlining operations, integrating diverse systems, and providing real-time data insights, which are critical for making informed business decisions.

Solution:
By combining the robust capabilities of JDE E1 with the flexibility of low-code/no-code tools, organizations can achieve a seamless transition during mergers and acquisitions, ensuring that the integration of systems and processes is as smooth as possible. Additionally, these tools can be instrumental in identifying and divesting non-core assets, thereby allowing companies to focus on their strategic priorities.

We utilized low-code/no-code orchestration to automate data extract scripts as part of our separation efforts. This allowed us to streamline the data extraction process significantly. Looking into the future, we are also planning upgrades to eliminate customizations that have become defunct due to the separation, further simplifying our systems and processes.

Learn how Evergy has implemented various technological tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of supporting PeopleSoft. All of it is "citizen-developed" technology, meaning these tools were created by business users rather than IT professionals, using low-code or no-code solutions. Key technologies used include a Power BI "Lite Brite" dashboard, which connects to PeopleSoft data via a data warehouse, for monitoring various metrics such as change request errors, items/manufacturer issues, inactive requesters/buyers, POs not emailed, and more. Additionally, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is used for data input, invoice retrieval, automating resolution of process monitor failures, and enhancing workflow notifications paired with PS Schedule Query. They've also developed a chatbot to encourage user self-service for policies, procedures, and even feeds ticketing systems. Join to learn Evergy's approach, and maybe hear from others as well in open discussion.
