The Long Game: Staying on PeopleSoft or JD Edwards vs. Moving to Oracle Cloud

PeopleSoft and JD Edwards customers are facing increasingly complex choices about the future of their ERP and HCM environments. Staying on-prem can be the right move for some organizations — but it comes with long-term implications. Moving to Oracle Cloud offers new capabilities, but also demands new ways of thinking, working, and leading.

In this session, we’ll examine both paths through the lens of customers who have already made the transition. You’ll hear directly from former on-prem customers about why they moved, what they gained, what they underestimated, and how the journey affected their teams and careers.

Rather than advocating for a single answer, this curated discussion is designed to help attendees weigh trade-offs, understand readiness factors, and decide for themselves what path best aligns with their organization’s strategy and their own professional growth.

See It for Yourself: A Guided Tour of Oracle Cloud for PeopleSoft & JD Edwards Customers

Many PeopleSoft and JD Edwards customers have heard about Oracle Cloud, but fewer have had the opportunity to actually see how it works — and how it compares to the systems they use every day.

This community meetup is a guided, scenario-based walkthrough of key Oracle Cloud capabilities, led by Oracle solution engineers. Rather than a scripted sales demo, we’ll focus on practical use cases that resonate with long-time on-prem customers: day-to-day user experience, automation, analytics, extensibility, and how common tasks are handled differently — and often more simply — in the Cloud.

Attendees are encouraged to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and explore how these capabilities could (or could not) improve the way they work today. The goal is transparency and understanding, so customers can judge for themselves whether Oracle Cloud represents meaningful value for their organization.
