PeopleSoft Finance 8.9 Rollout News & Information

The PeopleSoft Financials 8.9 Upgrade is Coming this Fall! 
New improvements to eProcurement, Travel Expenses, and other tasks in PeopleSoft Financials will be available to district employees in Fall 2007.

What are we upgrading?
This upgrade only affects Financials tasks. The upgrade does NOT have anything to do with HR tasks like Time & Labor or PARs.

Why are we upgrading?
Just like your car...in order to keep it running in good condition, you have to maintain it with tune-ups and oil changes.  And, we want to take advantage of new and improved features.
