PeopleSoft Web Services Are Hard

  • Have you been struggling with PeopleSoft web services?
  • Do PeopleSoft web services take too long to create?
  • Is it hard to find technical staff that can create them?
  • Are you struggling with deciding on SOAP, REST, Documents, Messages, PeopleCode, Routings, Handlers?

The traditional method of developing web services in the PeopleSoft Integration Broker can take weeks to months to develop a relatively simple web service because:

  • You need a developer to get involved has experience working with web services and understands the design constraints.
  • There are the complexities of setup, code, migration, and security.
  • Making iterative changes is time-consuming and expensive.
  • There are numerous undocumented bugs, limitations and outdated functionality to avoid.
  • The Integration Broker documentation is not great.
  • You can see a realistic development estimate in the Alternatives section.

Don’t worry Cedar Hills Group, Inc. has the solution for all these problems.

  • SWS liberates you from that complexity and allows your organization to “free” the PeopleSoft data quickly.
  • You provide the SQL and the SWS module handles all the other complexity.
