Anne’s Thoughts

In the Know with PeopleSoft

I often get asked, “Where do I find out more information about this topic for PeopleSoft HCM?”

We have so many places to research and learn that it can sometimes get overwhelming. Hopefully, this will help at least one person.

Here are my top 5 to recommend:

  1. peoplesoftinfo.com (My favorite)
  2. Oracle PeopleSoft App Strategy Blogs (Subscribe)
  3. Oracle PeopleSoft YouTube Channel
  4. PeopleBooks 
  5. My Oracle Support Communities – Human Capital Management PSFT 

When I get asked the same question specific to PeopleSoft Payroll for North America, these are my top 5 recommendations:

  1. Oracle Advisor Webcast for Payroll for North America Tax Update (Hosted 1 to 2 weeks after posting the Tax Updates)
  2. PeopleSoft Payroll for North America Hot Topics (Doc ID 1348833.1) (Review and Subscribe)

One good reason to stay in the know with my recommendations is you would have been one of the first to see Rebekah Jackson’s blog, “Oracle Extends Support for PeopleSoft to 2034“. Please keep in mind this is a rolling support policy. As new PeopleSoft enhancements get delivered, the support will extend.
