Unlock Your PeopleSoft Data for AI, Modern Apps, and Integrations

PeopleSoft Institutions Face a Modernization Imperative

AI is here, but your data is locked. Every institution is evaluating AI, from intelligent advising to automated workflows. But AI systems need access to clean, structured data through APIs. If your PeopleSoft data is trapped behind legacy integration patterns, you are falling behind.

Your users expect modern digital experiences. Students, employees, and partners expect mobile-friendly, responsive applications. PeopleSoft Classic and Fluid pages are not meeting those expectations. Modern frontends need REST APIs to function, and traditional PeopleSoft web service development cannot keep pace with demand.

Integration demands are accelerating. Salesforce, LMS platforms, student success tools, iPaaS connectors, data warehouses – every new system needs PeopleSoft data. The integration backlog keeps growing, and each traditional web service takes weeks to months to build.

SWS solves all three challenges with a single platform.

• One install
• Unlimited potential
• Scale from 10 to unlimited web services as your needs grow

The Hidden Cost of PeopleSoft Integration

Most PeopleSoft institutions face a growing integration backlog:

• Vendor implementations are stalled because the PeopleSoft data feeds they need take weeks to build.
• Digital transformation initiatives are delayed by the complexity of exposing PeopleSoft data through traditional Integration Broker development.
• Skilled developers are scarce. Finding staff who understand PeopleSoft Integration Broker – SOAP vs. REST, Documents, Messages, PeopleCode, Routings, and Handlers – is increasingly difficult.
• Each integration is expensive. A single traditional PeopleSoft web service costs $3,600-$13,000 to develop. If your institution needs 10 integrations this year, that is $36,000-$130,000 in development costs – more than the cost of an SWS Enterprise license.

SWS eliminates this bottleneck. You provide the SQL or use PsoftQL syntax, and SWS handles the rest: security, encoding, pagination, metadata, and delivery.
