Powers Health automated more than 1,000 test cases using PeopleSoft Test Framework to execute end-to-end functional testing of 75% of the healthcare business processes with built in validations. Our automated testing methodology has allowed us to stay current with the latest PeopleSoft updates and save the business hundreds of hours of manual testing. We developed a dashboard to provide visibility to management into the testing automation with real-time results.

Powers Health has developed dashboards and Pivot Grids to eliminate daily emailed reports which provides real-time actionable data. For example, Accounts Payable match exception processing has reduced the number of match exceptions by 50% and quicker resolution of match exceptions to avoid late payments. The usage of WorkCenters and Dashboards has made the business more efficient by providing a central location to monitor and take appropriate actions.
