During Quest Forum Digital Event: Emerging Technology Day, Oracle's own Joe Huang discussed his tips and best practices for implementing great digital assistants for Oracle applications.

To keep up with the latest technology, you will need to focus on three main categories of advancement – the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and digital assistants. According to Gartner, there will be 25 billion connected things by the year 2021. By 2030, blockchain will generate $3.1 trillion in new business value, and in the next two years, 70 percent of white-collar workers will interact with conversational platforms on a daily basis. If Gartner is right, it’s imperative to start learning about these areas today. As part of Quest’s 2019 Cloud Webinar series, Carlos Chang from Oracle, presented on what’s next in the role of emerging technology in the enterprise.

At COLLABORATE 19, Vikash Goyal, Vice President of Product Strategy for Oracle SCM Cloud Applications, spoke about how to enable supply chain innovation with emerging technology - including the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, blockchain, and digital assistants. 

In today's consumer landscape, many Millennials are more concerned than ever with supporting brands whose business practices have a positive impact on the environment, employees, and the regions from which they source their materials. People want organic, grass-fed goods when they shop. Accenture's 2018 global consumer pulse report surveyed over 30,000 consumers to find out why they purchase certain brands over another. The results showed an emphasis on what a brand says, does, and stands for, which is why Oracle Chief Sustainability Officer Jon Chorley explained that transparent supply chains improve brand integrity and ultimately get people to shop from that brand.

The PeopleSoft Chatbot Integration Framework is an important tool that allows PeopleSoft users to integrate PeopleSoft with the Oracle Digital Assistant (ODA) and start leveraging chatbots in their organizations.

Juan Loaiza, Oracle's executive vice president of mission-critical database technologies, spoke at Oracle OpenWorld 2019 about four technology shifts that are reshaping the enterprise database.

The wide adoption of mobile access and shifting employee demographics are compelling organizations to engage with their changing employee workforce using emerging technologies. Chatbots can help organizations turn repetitive, transactional requests and inquiries into natural, conversation-like interactions using voice or text. The PeopleSoft Human Capital Management Absence Management chatbot, Absence Assistant, allows employees to take this approach when requesting absences, viewing balances, and more.

Are you ready to revolutionize your PeopleSoft Human Capital Management system? The PeopleSoft product management team is currently working on an Absence Management chatbot for PeopleSoft Human Capital Management that will make absence management easier for every employee.

Chatbots are one of the four new and exciting initiatives within PeopleSoft. Other initiatives include Position Management, Delegation, and Drop Zones.

Emerging technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) are continuously disrupting organizations and industries. A recent Oracle blog explored the possibility of blockchain playing a role in the future of IoT as organizations continue to adopt the emerging technology to transform their business.
