The Enterprise Performance Group is currently engaged at Hewitt Associates as the lead EPM Budgeting 8.8 SP1 technical integrator. This global PeopleSoft Budgeting implementation will support all lines of business in all markets served by Hewitt Associates. Early phases of the project have focused on fit-gap analysis and product configuration design with special consideration given to multi-currency processing and performance. Currently scheduled to support the 2005 budgeting cycle, the system and process improvements promise significant return in the form of highly accurate budget and forecast projections.
