How do we address the pressing and ever-growing challenge of managing and interrogating vast amounts of enterprise data, both within and outside PeopleSoft? Traditional methods often fall short in providing efficient and intuitive access to this data, leading to inefficiencies and missed insights. While PeopleSoft has made several strides in recent years utilizing OpenSearch to address this problem (Global Search, Real-Time Indexing, OpenSearch Dashboards, etc.), Generative AI has potential to unlock additional data insights. We will demonstrate how to leverage a platform-agnostic AI framework to interact with large language models (LLMs) within PeopleSoft to interrogate enterprise data. In this talk, we highlight a few specific use cases that showcase the practical applications of this technology: •We'll explore a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) approach to interact with a knowledge base, facilitating a chat capability where users can ask questions about enterprise policies, procedures, and processes. •We'll feed data directly from PeopleSoft into the AI, allowing users to securely ask questions on any data which they have access to. We rely on PeopleSoft Security and PeopleSoft Search Framework for dynamic OpenSearch queries, inheriting appropriate document level security to control what data the AI can access.

Developing an AI Proof of Concept (POC) is often the easiest part of the journey, but taking that solution to production within an enterprise JD Edwards environment is where the real challenges begin. This session will explore our experience transforming an AI-powered agent built around JDE Orchestrations from a functional prototype into a fully operational, secure, and scalable production solution. Attendees will gain insights into the practical aspects of scaling AI solutions in the JDE ecosystem, including architectural considerations, integration patterns, performance tuning, and data governance. We will also discuss lessons learned around authentication, reliability, and user adoption, which are key factors that determine long-term success beyond the initial POC phase. This session will benefit Business Analysts, Developers, and IT Leaders interested in understanding what it truly takes to operationalize AI in the JD Edwards landscape, from concept to continuous improvement.

This is a Business look at practical applications of Machine Learning & AI. Using Oracle Machine Learning algorithms, I'll show how to produce results quickly for a business. Training a model with either data that you have or data via Big Data opportunities will be key to teach a model. After you have the correct algorithm, testing the model on new data that starts to prescribe what to do in the future on things like Big Data or other data in other places. Understanding which customers or potential customers are likely to buy is another place to leverage AI. Finding anomalies quicker to address as needed (potentially with an Agent). Finding the product that is the next product a customer will buy is helpful to increase revenue. Finding attributes of great customers create opportunities & you'll learn what they want to buy first or second. Add a chatbot to ask the customer or help the customer or employee find something in a document.

As AI becomes an essential tool in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne organizations, the ability to craft clear and effective prompts is rapidly becoming a critical skill for executives, business analysts, developers, and end users alike. This session demystifies how chat-based AI systems interpret language and provides practical strategies for turning vague questions into precise, high-value prompts that produce consistent and accurate results. Attendees will learn why AI sometimes “hallucinates,” how to avoid misleading outputs, and how to structure prompts to improve reliability, traceability, and alignment with JDE-specific tasks. Whether you are troubleshooting CNC issues, designing orchestrations, writing SQL, documenting business processes, or simply exploring new capabilities, proper prompting dramatically increases productivity and reduces errors. This presentation will include real-world examples from JD Edwards administration, development, and functional workflows—showing how AI can accelerate problem solving, code generation, documentation, analytics, and decision-making when guided effectively. Attendees will leave with a practical prompting framework, ready-to-use templates, and a clear understanding of how to get the most value from modern chat AI within the JD Edwards ecosystem.

Discover how the AI Powered Payroll Support Analyst, integrated with Oracle HCM Cloud, transforms payroll operations by automating activities traditionally performed by payroll support consultants. Acting as a virtual payroll specialist, the agent diagnoses employee level payroll issues by analyzing pay run data, identifying discrepancies, and determining root causes such as missing element entries, retro events, or rate changes, all within the context of a specific payroll run. The agent further streamlines resolution by generating prevalidated HDL (HCM Data Loader) files for review and execution, eliminating the need for manual data investigation and correction. By replicating the analytical expertise of a payroll support consultant, it standardizes diagnostics, accelerates resolution, and ensures audit ready accuracy. This session will demonstrate how the Payroll Support Analyst Agent enhances efficiency, reduces operational effort, and improves payroll accuracy through intelligent automation, enabling payroll teams to focus on strategic oversight rather than repetitive troubleshooting.
