Richard Conley’s Summary
I worked with PeopleSoft within Higher Education for about 10 years. I've held various positons throughout those years while working on 3 major enterprise implementations and two upgrades. My deepest functional knowledge is with the Human Resource application, but also have experience with Financials and Student Administration including Contributor Relations. Much of my recent involvement has been under the category of project management, but I still have a great passion for doing the detailed work with the applications. Overall, I get great energy from problem solving and delivering solutions.
