PeopleSoft HCM Overview

PeopleSoft HCM is an integrated suite of applications and business processes that are based on PeopleSoft's Pure Internet Architecture (PIA) and portal technologies.

The sophisticated features and collaborative, self-service functionality available in PeopleSoft HCM enable you to manage your human resources from recruitment to retirement while aligning your workforce initiatives with strategic business goals and objectives.

PeopleSoft HCM Integrations

PeopleSoft HCM integrates with other PeopleSoft applications, such as PeopleSoft Financials, PeopleSoft Workforce Analytics, and PeopleSoft Learning Management. PeopleSoft HCM also integrates with other third-party applications. PeopleSoft HCM uses various integration technologies to send and receive data.

We discuss integration considerations in the implementation chapters in the PeopleBooks. Supplemental information about third-party application integrations is located on the My Oracle Support website.

PeopleSoft HCM Implementation

PeopleSoft Setup Manager enables you to generate a list of setup tasks for your organization based on the features that you are implementing. The setup tasks include the components that you must set up, listed in the order in which you must enter data into the component tables, and links to the corresponding PeopleBook documentation.

PeopleSoft HCM also provides component interfaces to help you load data from your existing system into PeopleSoft HCM tables. Use the Excel to Component Interface utility with the component interfaces to populate tables.

This table lists all of the components documented in the PeopleSoft HCM Application Fundamentals PeopleBook that have component interfaces:
