Meeting Modern Student Expectations with App-Like Experiences in PeopleSoft
Abstract:
Your students don’t compare your PeopleSoft experience to other ERP systems. They compare it to TikTok, DoorDash, Snapchat, and similar apps on their phones. If the experience doesn’t reflect the intuitive digital interactions they are accustomed to, they bounce, call the office, or give up.
The good news: you don’t have to rip out PeopleSoft to meet that moment.
In this session, we’ll show how you can deliver modern, user-first experiences while keeping PeopleSoft as the secure system of record. Using a real-world Continuing Education solution built with City Colleges of Chicago, we will walk through an app-like journey powered by PeopleTools, GT WebUX, GT eForms, and the eForms Assistant, from search and registration through checkout.
We will then look ahead at how new PeopleSoft features, AI, Ida, and GT eForms for Cloud support interactions, personalization, and cloud portability, giving institutions a realistic path to adopt emerging capabilities without disruptive rewrites.
You’ll leave with concrete ideas, patterns, and examples you can apply to your PeopleSoft system.
