Based on the analysis of the work and scope defined, Ness suggested an innovative three-phased approach:
- Ness worked with IBM and defined an offsite model for this work, at the Ness PeopleSoft Competence Center. It enabled the upgrade of nearly 500 non-standard objects in less than 45 calendar days.
- Ness then defined the other areas like data conversion and additional customizations and reports. This project was awarded to the Ness’ offsite team.
- Ness also provided an onsite team to work with IBM project managers, covering database and Unix administration, PeopleSoft application administration and security.
- In addition, Ness set up a strong technical and functional team to support the onsite IBM project managers identifying the customizations and implementing them.

- Ensure that the production solutions were retrofitted (if required) into the development code threads
