Anne’s Thoughts
Oracle Communities

Oracle provides a community platform for our customers to help each other and express what they would like to happen in our products.  If it has been a while since you have visited, it may be a good time to get reacquainted.

I would recommend starting with visiting PeopleSoft’s Payroll for NA / Time and Labor – PSFT (MOSC) community to see what others are discussing. This venue allows the Oracle community to help each other. We also have our support team helping out. Remember to set notification preferences to follow the discussions.

Next, I suggest reviewing the PeopleSoft Ideas Lab HCM-Payroll for North America – PSFT IDEAS and voting on ideas you feel would be valuable for your organization. Voting helps us prioritize. We value new input for any ideas for improvement, enhancements, or innovative concepts. Please contribute to the discussions because our teams use those comments to help with the design when we start working on an idea. Although we may not deliver the highest-vote items in order of priority and some ideas are not feasible, we appreciate the insight into what matters to our customers.
