Oracle CloudWorld—a global conference bringing together applications and infrastructure customers, partners, and developers—is coming to Las Vegas from September 18-21, 2023. No matter where you are in your journey to the cloud, at CloudWorld you’ll find education, inspiration, and community to support your goals.

We know that Oracle JD Edwards and PeopleSoft customers have unique requirements for their workloads. Whether you’re looking for solutions that enable you to easily scale during times of peak demand such as college registration periods or end of month reporting, to enhance digital experiences for your internal and external users, to improve operational efficiencies or significantly reduce TCO – we’re excited to share strategies with you at CloudWorld across a variety of learning formats.

This is your opportunity to see how Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) can help you to achieve more with your existing JD Edwards and PeopleSoft investments and explore services like application integration that connect any on-premises, SaaS, or custom applications, automate end-to-end processes like request to receipt or recruit to onboard, and ultimately accelerate business process innovation. Looking for a pathway to SaaS? CloudWorld is the place to learn why Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications – built and run on OCI – are trusted by more than 30,000 organizations to improve their customer engagements, increase business agility, and react to change faster than ever before.

Let’s dig into the top four ways for JD Edwards and PeopleSoft customers to get the most out of this year’s event, and highlight just a few of the many sessions planned:

Today, Albertsons runs its core HR and absence management applications in Oracle HCM Cloud and runs its PeopleSoft Payroll application on OCI. Since migrating the formerly on-premises PeopleSoft deployment, they’ve cut the time it takes to run weekly payroll jobs in half.
