PeopleSoft In-Memory Project Discovery helps customers improve decision making and gain a competitive advantage by providing visibility into projects and resources in ways that traditional data warehouse reporting tools cannot.

Oracle’s In-Memory Applications are certified and supported only on Oracle Engineered Systems, one more reason why Oracle applications run best on Oracle systems. PeopleSoft In-Memory Project Discovery provides the ability to relate unstructured data (data stored in text fields and files) to structured data. It also allows customers to analyze keywords, structured data and unstructured data in Oracle’s PeopleSoft Services Automation suite, turn them into reporting dimensions in real-time, and view the results in a collection of pre-configured analytic tools. With PeopleSoft In-Memory Project Discovery, project professionals can search and filter on keywords relating to projects and resources, refine filters, display results graphically, and drill into the source transactions in the PeopleSoft Project Costing, Resource Management, and Program Management applications. In addition, the dynamic interface helps project executives, managers and financial staff to visualize and interact with project data and take proactive measures to address the factors affecting resource supply and demand and project financial performance. By empowering the project-driven enterprise with an intuitive, packaged solution to gain insight, PeopleSoft In-Memory Project Discovery helps customers increase project profitability, reduce project cost overruns, and identify and mitigate project risk.
Unlock the Value Trapped in Unstructured Project and Resource Data
With PeopleSoft In-Memory Project Discovery, organizations can interrogate project information and answer complex questions in ways and at speeds that were not previously feasible. PeopleSoft In-Memory Project Discovery helps organizations to more easily solve business challenges that require the review of unstructured data. PeopleSoft In-Memory Project Discovery helps: Identify the root causes of project success and failure when the documentation regarding project challenges is stored in text fields associated with projects. Identify the drivers that contribute to the financial and operational performance of projects when the reasons behind performance are stored in text associated with the projects. Reduce the time to fill resource requests and drive resource utilization higher by quickly searching the text of resumes and work experience logs of a distributed workforce. Raise resource utilization and improve competitiveness through early detection of resource supply and demand disparities. In an emergency, rapidly identify the value of the projects where a particular risk or issue has been described in the text associated with a project.
