Middle East Client - Consultant PeopleSoft Campus Solutions

As a subcontractor added to the PeopleSoft implementation team to assist with the roll-out of PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. The main areas of work are Data Migration and Third Party integrations. Data Migration comprises of the more standard tasks to move data from the legacy system into PSCS.

An additional task is the upload and maintenance on SetUp and AS data. This data is uploaded via xl2ci.
