Work is being fundamentally redefined. What was once structured around transactions and processes is becoming dynamic, intelligent, and outcome-driven. AI is driving this shift and transforming enterprise applications into systems that anticipate, guide, and adapt to how work actually happens. But realizing this promise requires more than embedding AI into existing workflows. It demands that leaders rethink how work gets done and design a new human-agent workforce aligned to business outcomes. In this session, explore how Oracle Fusion Applications enable this transformation. Leave with a clear framework to assess your current processes, build the case for change, and take practical steps to reinvent how work works in your organization.

JD Edwards (JDE) environments are evolving rapidly, and organizations are looking for smarter, more intuitive ways to optimize operations. This session introduces how Agentic AI, combined with autonomous process automation, is reshaping JDE workflows by enabling intelligent, collaborative systems that work alongside users to enhance efficiency and decision-making. Leveraging generative AI, natural language interactions, and task-oriented agents, JDE processes can be transformed from static, traditional ERP activities into dynamic, AI-driven operational flows. The session showcases how advanced AI agents can interpret functional and technical queries, automate repetitive tasks, coordinate multi-step processes across JDE modules, and integrate seamlessly with surrounding enterprise applications. With the support of Oracle AI services—including sentiment analysis, data classification, and language intelligence—these agents introduce contextual understanding and autonomous execution capabilities that elevate ERP performance. Real-world scenarios illustrate how organizations are deploying agentic systems to boost user productivity, streamline operations, strengthen governance, and achieve greater business agility in a modern, digital-first landscape.

In PeopleTools 8.62 it is possible to add and configure additional OpenSearch Plugins to OpenSearch delivered for PeopleSoft. Symantec Search can be configured using Neural Search and machine learning models. Semantic search employs Neural Search in order to determine the intention of the user’s query in the search context, thereby improving search relevance. Neural Search can use OpenSearch-provided pretrained models, your own custom models, or a foundation model hosted on an external platform. Conversational Search can be configured to use external AI LLM’s. Conversational Search uses large language models (LLMs) to read the top N documents and synthesizes those documents into a plaintext “answer” to your question. Additional Plug-Ins that can be configured are Anomaly Detection and Alerting. Anomaly detection automatically detects anomalies in your OpenSearch data in near real-time and the Alerting Plugin can notify you as soon as an anomaly is detected.
