Hackensack Meridian Health wins 2 more PeopleSoft Innovator Awards

Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey’s largest and most comprehensive and integrated health network, collected its fifth and sixth PeopleSoft Innovator Awards in 10 months at Oracle’s OpenWorld conference on September 16, 2019 in San Francisco.

These latest honors were for the use of PeopleSoft Fluid eProcurement, a tool which improves the requisition process that is being rolled out across the network, and the rollout of PeopleSoft Expenses, which will allow team members to create pre-travel authorizations, enter expense reports, and submit and approve expenses via mobile devices.

This is the second time this year the network received two honors at Oracle’s semi-annual conference.

These most recent achievements were the result of the collaborative efforts of the Business Applications team from the IT Division with, in the case of PeopleSoft Fluid eProcurement, the Purchasing and Materials Management & Applications teams from the Purchasing and Materials Management Division and, in the case of PeopleSoft Expenses, the Accounts Payable team from the Finance Division.

“Once again, we are honored to receive this award from Oracle. The continued recognition only reinforces our view that teamwork throughout the network is key to the implementation of technology in new and innovative ways. I’m proud of how IT was able to partner so closely and effectively with Finance and Purchasing and Materials Management teams. The payoff from these efforts are increased functionality and efficiency for our organization,” says David Reis, Ph.D., executive vice president, chief information officer.

“I want to congratulate everyone involved. This was truly a collaborative effort between the Purchasing and Materials Management team and IT Division. Team members from our test group already love the requisition process which provides the feel of online shopping. We are excited to roll out this tool to the entire network,” says Karl Blomback, senior vice president, purchasing/materials management.

“The working partnerships that were forged between the Accounts Payable team and IT will enable Hackensack Meridian Health to take advantage of this innovative PeopleSoft Expense product. I want to thank all the team members involved for their dedication,” says James De Rosa, senior vice president, finance, North market region and network financial reporting.
